Under the Tree: Open Call for Exhibitors
Under the Tree is an exhibition of small-batch & one-of-a-kind crafts for Christmas gift-buying visitors at MAKE Southwest.
Under the Tree offers visitors high quality handmade crafts - an inspiring alternative to the larger high street and online retailers - supporting makers, as well as our craft education charity. We welcome applications from UK-based designer-makers and are looking for: beautifully crafted work in a range of prices/sizes; batch-produced or one-of-a-kind work that is ready to display; a variety of craft media; makers with a strong social media presence, who will reciprocate promotion.
Exhibition dates: 24 October 2026 - 9 January 2027
