artisan makers club | Show your work

Show Your Work is the first night in the artisan Makers Club series. A three-event maker networking series running throughout 2026. No pitch required, no polish expected. Just bring one thing you're currently making or have recently finished and let the work do the talking.

The evening is designed to get makers out of their studios and into the same room. Whether you work in ceramics, textiles, jewellery, wood, or anything in between, this is your chance to share what you're working on, hear what others are making, and start building the kind of connections that don't happen online.

The format is deliberately relaxed. Works are displayed or held, conversations happen naturally, and a complimentary drink and nibbles set the tone. This is community first, networking second.

Who Should Attend?
Open to all makers at any stage of their practice. Whether you're just starting out or have been making for decades, if you make things by hand, this night is for you. 18+.

What's Included?

• Entry to the event
• Complimentary drink and nibbles

What Should I Bring and Wear?
Bring one piece of work you're currently making or have recently completed. Wear whatever you're comfortable in — this is a casual evening, not a formal event.
