Beautiful and Useful Craft Fair

The Garden Museum’s annual boutique craft fair offers shoppers the chance to support small businesses, meet the makers and buy one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts for friends and family.

The Garden Museum will be filled with a finely curated array of stalls taking inspiration from the shapes, colours and materials of gardens and the natural world, with environmentally friendly methods and sustainability at their heart.

This year's featured makers include; The Curious Maker’s mechanical toys and velvet toadstool decorations; Claverton Cloche’s elegant and practical garden frames; Variegate’s hand-crafted wooden tools and utensils; and The Ceramic Botanist’s vases, jugs and plaques imprinted with the shapes of real plants.

Other makers taking inspiration from plants and nature include The Natural Dye Company’s delicately hued homewares and accessories; Seaside Moocher’s pressed seaweed pieces showcasing the diversity of underappreciated aquatic botanicals; Georgia Doherty’s Plants for Shade – convincing and exquisitely crafted paper plants complete with reclaimed pots; and Frank & Lusia’s colourful mixed media botanic prints adorning tea towels, cards and ornaments.

There’s also the opportunity to take part in craft workshops, including a straw decorations workshop with Penny Maltby of the Ministry of Straw and an embossed tin workshop with artist Claire Youngs.
