    MADE 08 - Brighton's Design and Craft Fair

    21st - 23rd November, 2008

    We are delighted with the quality and diversity of the work that has been presented to us for MADE08. Please take a look at our artists page to view our preliminary selection.

    WolframLohr.JPGThe third year of the Brighton Craft Fair welcomes a name change to MADE 08.  We endeavour to select some of the best designer-makers in the UK, across all disciplines so that  the public can purchase well designed, contemporary work direct from the makers.

    Each year we welcome over 5000 visitors to the show who delight at the quality and extensive range of work at an event outside the capital. Many, many of these visitors return every year ready to shop!

    We see MADE 08 as the twin event to the very successful Brighton Art Fair. We don't believe that there should be such a gulf between art and craft and want to promote the best in contemporary design and craft from makers and designers across the country.

    Set amid the Regency splendour of Brighton's Corn Exchange, MADE 08 showcases affordable craft, design and applied art mostly priced between £20 and £1500. Makers are carefully selected by our committee to create an exciting, diverse and high quality exhibition featuring the best of contemporary craft and design.
