'Unique handcrafted goods, direct from the maker'
The emphasis, at these events, is on original and contemporary work, with a strong 'up-cycled' theme. Giving the opportunity to meet the designer makers in person and buy unique handcrafted goods of gallery quality.
As well as talented craftspeople selling their work, some demonstrate their skills and others encourage the public to 'have-a-go' and try a new craft.
2026 EVENTS
Friday 16th & Saturday 17th October, 10am - 4pm
The Garden Rooms at Tennants, Leyburn, North Yorkshire
Approximately 30 artists and makers spread over two floors.
A list of all those taking part, with links to their webite or social media page, will be added to the 'Stallholders' a few weeks before the event.
Designer Makers Market was established in 2013 by textile artist Kathryn Guy. Frustrated by a lack of good quality, genuinely handcrafted events in the North East she decided to do something about it and organise some.
Participants are 'handpicked' and offer a good mix of mediums. The events always attract customers who appreciate the uniqueness of the products and the time that has gone into making them.
We are always on the lookout for new artists and designer/makers to take part. So if you think your work would fit the criteria please contact us.
