Join Amanda at the Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft Festive Makers Fair – a celebration of contemporary craft and the perfect place to discover something special for Christmas.
Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft celebrates the village’s rich legacy as a thriving centre of art and craft in the 20th century. Rooted in a tradition of making, the museum highlights the lives and work of the artists and craftspeople who made Ditchling their home, including members of the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, a unique Roman Catholic artistic community founded in 1920.
The Guild was an experiment in communal life, that united work, faith, and domestic life in a shared community of workshops and a chapel on Ditchling Common. Founded by Eric Gill, Joseph Cribb, Edward Johnston and Hilary Pepler, it attracted a remarkable circle of artists and craftspeople. Though the Guild closed in 1989, its legacy continues to shape Ditchling’s creative identity today.
Throughout the museum you’ll find textiles, ceramics, woodwork and jewellery from inspiring makers, each bringing a fresh perspective to traditional craft. Browse and buy unique pieces, and meet the talented people behind the designs.
Sat 8 November - Sun 9 November
Entry is included with museum admission.
