An exciting opportunity indeed for any nascent makers and/or craftspeople; Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft is inviting applications for their Makers Fair 2025, a curated fair showcasing outstanding new talent.

Fair dates: 18 – 20 July 2025

Fee: £50

This opportunity is open to students or those who have graduated within the last five years, working independently in disciplines including:

• Weaving

The organisers are looking for emerging makers who bring originality, dedication and skill to their craft. Your work should demonstrate a distinct creative voice and a high level of technical skill in your chosen medium.

Selected makers must be available for the full three days of the fair. Each maker will be provided with a table but will need to supply their own display setup.
