Bringing dozens of wonderful handmade gifts to the Cotswolds this Christmas, New Brewery Arts in Cirencester is hosting JOY!, its new winter exhibition and retail event, this October, November and December 2024.
Jam-packed with fabulous contemporary pieces, from sustainable baubles to brightly coloured ceramics and statement textiles, the exhibition runs from Saturday 26 October until Tuesday 24 December 2024.
Browse the collections for free in the centre's gallery space, curated by New Brewery Arts' respected buying team, featuring timeless handmade jewellery and unique interior design pieces.
There are also designer Christmas cards, collectable heirloom decorations and gorgeous gift options for all ages to choose from within the new collection.
Selected makers from across the UK include illustrator, animator and ceramicist Sophie Kamlish — who also happens to be a three-time Paralympic athlete — as well as jewellery designer Lucy Behrens, whose creations are made using solid recycled silver and 18-carot gold plated pieces.
Continuing the theme of celebrating hand crafts, the collection features designs and socially conscious furniture, lighting and accessories by Studio Arvor from North Cornwall.
CEO of New Brewery Arts, Beth Alden, said: 'The new JOY collection and exhibition epitomises all we stand for and offers an exciting showcase of back-to-basics, honest, natural and unique creations. It is all about returning to our roots, departing from fast fashion, mass production and mainstream.'
While nothing beats being able to touch and feel while shopping in person, a selection of items will be available to shop online via the New Brewery Arts website.
There's also the chance to beat the crowds at a preview night for JOY!, too, taking place on Friday 25 October 2024 from 6pm until 9pm.
