I was out and about in Manchester yesterday and called into the Royal Exchange Craft Shop. If you haven’t been there it’s definitely worth a visit. The shop has a reputation for attracting the best design talent from across the UK, including new and emerging makers as well as established names.

As well as the space in the craft shop the Royal Exchange hosts a programme of six changing exhibitions a year, each running for a two-month period. Each exhibition is connected by a theme or material and is displayed at various locations around the theatre. All exhibits are for sale.

If you’re interested in getting involved you can find more information on the Royal Exchange website.
