We source original, handmade crafts direct from U.K. based makers. Please note we do not take kit cards, customised goods (pre bought and decorated/assembled) or items where the main focus of the design is not a handmade object. (though we don’t expect chains and all beads to be handmade!)
How to approach us with your work:
We ask that makers contact us via email, rather than dropping in with samples. This gives both Craftshop buyers a chance to view your work, discuss and reply with a considered response.
What we will need from you:
- Good quality images of your craft work.
- Information about how the work is made and the materials used.
- Wholesale prices ( Trade Pricelist ) that is, what you would like to receive for each piece.
- A bit about yourself, such as a CV or artist’s statement.
Please send by email to Allyson and Maggie at: thecraftshop_nac@hotmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
