Alternative gifts on show at Present Makers event

It’s never to early to start the dreaded Christmas shopping, and if you’re looking for something a little different this year, why not head to the Thelma Hulbert Gallery in Devon?

Present Makers 2019 is an exhibition promising to be packed full of beautiful gifts for Christmas. The exhibition will demonstrate the skill and diversity of contemporary crafts people and designer-makers living in the South West.

The exhibition will be a celebration of quality, local craftsmanship. From 100 open submissions, 50 entries were selected, demonstrating creative innovation across a range of materials including glass, jewellery, paper, textiles, prints, ceramics and lighting. All of this work will be for sale.

There will also be a programme of workshops and art activities to accompany the exhibition, as well as a late night shopping event on 16th December. The workshops will include the chance to design and print a tote bag, and to have a go at creating a living wreath.

Present Makers will open on Saturday 9th November with mulled wine and mince pies to get visitors in the Christmas shopping spirit.

When: 9th November – 21st December 2019, Tuesday – Saturday 10am – 5pm
