Made in Nottingham 16th Jan-17th February


MADE IN NOTTINGHAM was a new successful venture by the gallery to help showcase and provide a market opportunity for some of Nottingham's most talented designers and makers!

A unique selection of accessories, individual one offs and unusual gifts showcase in the gallery alongside our photography show. All items on display were for sale at affordable prices, and purchases from our collection helped Nottingham based designers & makers continue their creative and innovative work.
