The Story of

Makers Market Midlands was created by CraftyBun Studio (Holly) & Willis Designs (Rick) in 2018. We have both done many markets over the years and had a common love for the potential of building a community of talented makers/artists. We've also had the unfortunate experience of attending markets that aren't quality controlled and sell items that aren't 100% handmade.

​

Makers Market Midlands is all about celebrating the skills and talents of local, independent makers from in the Midlands, UK. 

​

At the beginning of Lockdown Arts Council England gave us some funding to get this website set up. 

Our website and social media are done voluntarily by Holly & Rick. This website is to help promote all the talent we have here in the Midlands and where customers can come to buy something really special.

Our Makers directory of Midland-based Makers is ever-developing and we now have 90+ creatives listed!
