About the show
Curated Craft is a digital trade sourcing platform for the British artisan sector hosted by the publisher of the British Craft Directory. This custom-built, commission-free platform enables visiting retailers to view hundreds of beautiful and authentic British-made products from the comfort of their own home, shop, or even a train or sunlounger!
Visitors will also be able to view a host of special show offers and promotions from exceptional quality British artisan makers, across disciplines that include glassware and ceramics, greetings cards and giftwrap, gifts and homeware alongside jewellery.
Organiser Denre Bruins says,
“We very much hope you can join us for the event to show your support for British jewellery makers and other exceptional artisans who are marketing their work to the retail trade. This year we are showcasing around 1500 new product launches, with everything guaranteed to be made by hand here in the UK. Through our Golden Ticket promotions we aim to both incentivise buying and to support the legions of independent retailers who are high street heroes in our eyes!”
Register for a chance to win
To qualify for entry, retailers are warmly invited to register for the digital event and join at any stage between 16-24 June, when the show will be open 24/7.
Every action taken on the site, such as watching exhibitor videos, browsing their images, downloading catalogues etc, constitutes one or more virtual ‘tickets’. At the end of the show two random ‘tickets’ will be drawn and the corresponding buyers will receive a ‘Golden ticket’, that they can spend with one or more Curated Craft exhibitors. They will then have the chance to order goods up to a value of £300 or £200 from one or more Curated Craft exhibitors, who will then send the organiser invoices for immediate payment.
