What can you expect?

The Bristol Artisan presents a beautiful selection of jewellery, ceramics, glassware, textiles, homewares, illustration and furniture – a fantastic place to find the perfect gift or unique items for the home.

Launching for the first time this year at Arnolfini, the event offers visitors the opportunity to meet new designers and view, buy or commission their work. It will be a great way to spend the day for anyone interested in contemporary design and craft – or shopping.
