Contemporary Craft Selling Exhibition.

Present Makers features hand-crafted gift ideas showcasing the talent and innovation of contemporary craftspeople and design makers in the South West. 

The exhibition features work including jewellery, ceramics, textiles, prints, wood and glass as well as unique Christmas cards, and decorations.

This year, we are shining a spotlight on emerging makers. As well as established makers, recently graduated makers and emerging makers are featured, from woodworkers to jewellery artists, ceramicists to glassmakers, textile to embroidery artists.

THG aims to support early career makers, developing their expertise to help advance their practice. Through this exhibition, the gallery provides a carefully curated space to showcase their creative process. The emerging artists use many different processes including leatherwork, paper-making, pottery, knitting, jewellery making and wood turning.

An exhibition upstairs at THG exploring Honiton’s multicultural heritage and the stories of a diverse community.
 
Telling Our Stories, Finding Our Roots is a community heritage and oral history project, which aims to find, share and celebrate the hidden histories of Devon’s diverse and multicultural communities, past and present. 
 
The exhibition brings together Honiton’s fascinating and often forgotten multicultural heritage from the Romans to Romany gypsies, Basque refugee children to Ugandan refugees, Irish immigrants building the railways to the WWII American GIs at Dunkeswell.
 

'This exhibition proudly aims to remind us of our shared humanity, transcending religion, race, and gender. It showcases the diversity within our community and how Honiton has exemplified a welcoming spirit, benefiting greatly from this inclusivity. By embracing storytelling, we bring these diverse narratives to life, fostering self-expression, empathy, and healing. We believe this will pave the way for a better world.'

Hilda Kalap - Telling Our Stories, Finding Our Roots project co-ordinator.
