Here's an early morning fly-past, in case you have ever wondered about the scale and size of one of our most popular events.
April 2025 marked a remarkable milestone — 25 years since Craft In Focus staged its very first event at Guildford University and opened the doors on 15 April 2000. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s leading organiser of contemporary craft fairs, staying true to our ethos of showcasing only the finest British craftmakers and artists.
Unlike many other events, we strictly prohibit imported or mass-produced work, ensuring visitors are purchasing work direct from the makers selected to exhibit with us. This dedication has set us apart, earning us an outstanding reputation and redefining the way the public perceives craft fairs.

Inspired by our British beaches and landscape, I create a range of solid silver, bronze and gold jewellery. Instantly recognisable it is primitive, organic and temptingly tactile.
