With over seventy professional designer-makers, we organise a number of exhibitions every year, manage ‘The Guild Gallery Shop at Chapel Arts, our flagship retail outlet in Cheltenham, and hold workshops for adults and students. We work in partnership with a number of outstanding organisations and support every opportunity to promote craftsmanship and design in the county.
