• Creatives, Makers, and Artisans of the Cotswolds

    Beyond the idyllic scenery of the Cotswolds, a thriving community of artisans and creatives are crafting unique and beautiful objects that reflect the region’s unique character.  

    From the heart of the Cotswolds, a diverse range of crafts emerge. Skilled potters throw earthy vessels, their creations echoing the region’s rich agricultural heritage. Woodworkers meticulously transform local timber into exquisite furniture, while jewellers craft stunning pieces and painters capture the essence of the landscape, from the golden glow of autumnal fields to the vibrant green of spring meadows.
