Artist-made Christmas gifts

Purchasing your presents from a local artist gives you the opportunity to find something unique, as well as supporting the local economy and being more sustainable.

We’ve highlighted some of the special gifts available. You can also explore our artists’ pages to find lots more. And if you’re looking for something extra special, why not commission a bespoke work from one of our artists – a painting of a favourite place, a piece of jewellery for a loved one, or a sculpture for a newly designed garden.

Many of our artists are also offering Christmas gift vouchers, which can be used towards artwork, commissions, or workshops – a perfect option if you’d like to give someone the joy of choosing their own piece.
