Leading designer makers of contemporary craft will be selling their work at an exciting new fair to be held in Manchester this October.

The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair is the region’s first large selected fair where original contemporary craft can be bought and commissioned directly from some of the UK’s most talented designer-makers.

Held in the elegant setting of the Manchester Grammar School from October 23-26, 2008, it will showcase an irresistible mix of ceramics, jewellery, interior textiles, fashion accessories, glass, metalwork, wood, furniture and more with prices ranging from £10 to £10,000.

In the lead up to Christmas, the contemporary craft fair will provide a unique and inspiring shopping experience. Somewhere to treat yourself, buy one off gorgeous gifts for Christmas or invest in some beautiful object for your home.

Show organiser, Ann-Marie Franey said: “We hope people will come and make a day of it, chat to the makers and buy in a relaxed atmosphere. We want people to begin a love affair with contemporary craft.”
