Why your support matters….

The Makers Survey Report 2025 confirms that shopping local and handmade is a vital act of support for the UK’s craft sector, which faces complex economic challenges.

By visiting the Made in Bristol Gift Fair, you are directly investing in the resilience, culture, and economy of your community.

💡 Makers Need Your Support

Financial pressures: Half of UK makers earned less than £10,000 from making in the past year, and 62.3% rely on other income sources outside the creative industries to make a living. These are real people working hard to sustain their passion.

The power of ‘Portfolio Makers’: Most craft businesses are micro-enterprises, driven by resilient ‘portfolio makers’ who combine their craft with other work. Your purchase at a local fair helps them thrive and pursue their creative entrepreneurship.

In-person sales are critical: Two-thirds (66.2%) of makers’ sales come from physical channels, not digital. Events like the Made in Bristol Gift Fair are the primary source of in-person sales for makers.

What a fabulous start to our Gift fairing season! Thank you all for coming and supporting Bristol’s brilliant creatives.

Some love for our ceramists today…

* They are the masters of transformation: They embrace the potential of clay, guiding it through painstaking, multi-stage processes to create robust and functional art that brings daily beauty to your home. (Tea just tastes better in a hand thrown mug imo.)
* Resilient craftspeople: The craft is physically demanding and technically challenging, conducted in studios that are often far from cozy, all while adapting to significant rising energy costs for their kilns.
* Big hearted: Despite these immense challenges, they consistently turn up to fairs with a huge smile, sharing their passion and incredible work with genuine joy.

We will be proud to showcase more of their work on the:
