about Our crafts

Handmade

All our artisan crafters make their various works typically using handmade and traditional techniques to preserve these historic skills and specialist crafts. As a collective, the Guild offers an experience that is truly unique, personal, and ensures items are made to the highest quality.

Quality

From the finest materials – whether wood, glass, metals, textiles, paper, ceramics and more – our artisan makers source locally where possible, to achieve the finest product quality and to ensure we preserve our cultural heritage and represent only the very best of the region’s artisan crafts.

Local

Our artisan crafters and makers all live and work from various locations covering every direction across the fine County of Norfolk, but collectively the talented members all place importance on the value to the local economy and of handmade crafts, and are inspired by the beauty of the rural wildlife and scenery around them.
