Present Makers 2023
11 November 2023 to 23 December 2023
A leading exhibition in the UK’s craft calendar.
From an open call out, Present Makers 2023 features hand-crafted gift ideas showcasing the talent and innovation of contemporary craftspeople and design makers in the South West.
This year, we are delighted to shine a spotlight on glass. We are collaborating with the Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) to extend our Present Makers call out to their members who live and work in the South West. This selection will be showcased in our brand new gallery space. From THG and CGS open submissions, entries will be selected to highlight the quality, variety and inspiration of local designer makers working across a range of materials: glass, jewellery, ceramics, textiles, prints and wood, as well as unique Christmas cards and decorations. All of the work will be for sale.
We would like applicants to think about and highlight how their work is sustainable or how they have reduced their carbon footprint. We would also like to encourage applications from recently graduated makers and emerging makers.
THG is proud to support South West designer makers through our programme of selling showcases in the gallery and our gallery shop. We pride ourselves on working with and supporting our local artist community, celebrating the talent on our doorstep.
