This summer, Bluecoat Display Centre presents Celebrating North West Craft Makers , a vibrant showcase of creativity from across the region. Bringing together a diverse selection of talented makers, the exhibition highlights the rich heritage and contemporary innovation that define craft in the North West.
From beautifully handcrafted ceramics, sculpture and textiles to striking jewellery and mixed media works, each piece tells a story of skill, passion, and place. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to discover and support local makers while exploring the breadth of craft practices thriving in our communities today.
Join us in celebrating the artistry, individuality, and enduring spirit of North West craft.
