It was a lovely sunny evening, the animated conversations a pleasure to listen to and what a joy to see so much creativity on display in this perfect location. The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen were The Guild at 51 at The Wilson until this closed for refurbishment. For 18 months Glos Guild Crafts was their name while at Chapel Arts but now they have their very own unique shop and gallery selling beautiful handmade jewellery, ceramics, textiles, leather goods, glass, furniture and much more!

 

 The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen is a charitable membership organisation made up of designer-makers. The Guild organises exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops offering invaluable resources for those wishing to participate in or learn about the world of craft and design.
