Handmade Crafts for Christmas

Under the Tree is MAKE Southwest’s annual curated exhibition which showcases gifts from across the UK. Our team is always looking for UK-based makers to fill our Jubilee Gallery with beautifully handmade, batch produced, or one of a kind craft at Christmas.

Handmade gifts are an ethical and unique alternative to the high street. Additionally, every time you buy work from us, you are supporting our makers and our charity; helping people have free access to making, learning about and being inspired by craft and design.

The show offers a wide variety of craft disciplines from makers across the UK and is a great opportunity for people to buy quality thoughtful and handmade gifts by talented craftspeople and a sustainable and inspiring alternative to the high street and online shopping.
