Twelve members of the The Sussex Guild will be exhibiting for the first time in Oxmarket Contemporary’s John Rank gallery for a two week exhibition. Headquartered in Lewes, The Sussex Guild is a group of professional designers and makers of fine contemporary and traditional craftwork, whose members live and work in Sussex and the adjoining counties of Kent, Surrey and Hampshire. Members have been selected for their high degree of skill and creativity. Twelve craftspeople whose media and techniques include, wood, metal, glass, ceramics and textiles, will present a varied show of high quality collectible pieces. All of their work is made in Sussex, much is inspired by Sussex. They are keen to excite and encourage public appreciation of fine craftsmanship through shows, exhibitions, open studios and classes across Sussex and beyond through the year.

Although The Sussex Guild has changed and grown over the years since its foundation in 1970, the original spirit still remains. They continue to be an autonomous, self-help organisation and their aim is to promote and sell their work together. Now, as before, a very special bond of friendship and support exists between members.
