Now we are FIVE!

Yup, it was five years ago this month that The Makers Directory was launched, and what an amazing journey it has been.

Our mission is simply to encourage people to discover, value and buy from the local Makers and Artists in this famously creative part of Sussex and from very small beginnings here we are today…

Thanks due to each and every one of you

OPPORTUNITY: Free Creative Conversations
•
Steve Bannatyne is offering free informal one-to-one conversations with creatives working across art, craft, design and making.

”Creative work can be deeply solitary. Many artists, makers and writers spend long periods working alone, with very few opportunities to talk openly about their ideas, doubts or direction. So many of us work in isolation. Having someone to bounce ideas off and gain an outside perspective is invaluable.

I’m offering informal one-to-one conversations with creatives working across art, craft, design and making. These are relaxed but thoughtful discussions about your practice - the work itself, direction, challenges, ideas and next steps. Conversations are open to anyone working in a creative field, at any stage of their practice.”

Day 2 of Instagram take over! once again here 🌞 this post will be all about inspiration!

🌼 My tattooing, as well as my paintings and ceramics, are inspired by my current surroundings as well as my home back in the Mediterranean - landscapes, history, art, architecture, folklore, textiles, etc.

💘 I love living in Sussex because it offers a very diverse scenery, very much so where I come from but in a different way 🫶🏼🌞💕 the flower gardens, rolling hills, cottages, cliffs, beaches.. 💘 ..I could keep going for a while!

✨ Sussex is also a hub for creativity and independent businesses, and I’ve been incredibly lucky to work with some very talented people as well as making friends. I’ll share here who inspires me in the area and what my favourite places are!

🌺 1-7 pics are about some of my work and snippets of what makes my heart sing! Including a vase with prickly pears from back home in Sicily, couldn’t not include that! 8 - who makes colorful designs as well as being a wildlife photographer for Sussex Wildlife Trust, 9 - artwork by my husband and owner of 10 - talented tattoo artist, painter and maker, 11 - tattoo legend, print maker, painter and much more, 12 - oil painter and wonderful lady, 13 - for great illustrative ceramics, 14 - .a.c.young magical maker, illustrator and printmaker, 15 - ceramicist, gardener, immense font of knowledge, 16 - .s.creative.pottery handmade ceramics insured by Sicily, 17 - the most inspiring atmosphere you’ll find in Sussex 🌞
