 Celebrating it's 5th Anniversary, expect to find
the very best in UK designer makers and a
most un-high street experience at The
Contemporary Craft Fair 2008.
With 160
leading makers of contemporary craft
heading to the sumptuous hills of South
Devon, it couldn't be a more idyllic setting.
Expect to be sorely tempted by the finest
pieces of jewellery and furniture, the
sleekest bespoke leather handbags,
fabulous fashions and interior products
in ceramic, silver, glass, wood, metal
and textiles. The only thing the
exhibitors have in common is quality
and individuality AND you get to
meet and buy the work direct from
the maker.

now part of OWN ART, the
opportunity to buy and spread
your payments over one year-
Interest Free! Just bring a photo ID
and proof of address and you're set.
