It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the third edition of Handmade Edinburgh - The Contemporary Craft and Design Fair in Scotland’s elegant and historic capital city. We are pleased to be hosting the event in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh as a part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Handmade Edinburgh offers the perfect opportunity to browse, commission and shop directly from over 70 British and international designer-makers, while enjoying the delights of the beautiful botanic gardens. It would not have been possible without the support from our partner Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and our supporters including Art Fund, Artmag, Ceramic Review, Crafts, homes4media, i-on Magazine, Little Black Book and Wild Island Botanic Gin. I am thankful to them and also to my wonderful team at Handmade in Britain whose hard work over the past year has been invaluable. I hope you enjoy the show as much as we have enjoyed creating it.

“Just bought the i-on membership card and my friends and I have enjoyed a couple of lovely events. First The Ivy Launch party with lots of fab food and champagne. Then tonight the Coach event where we again had a taste of New York food and a few glasses of fizz. A lucky girl won the raffle with one of their fabulous bags and we all received a beautiful leather card wallet. I can highly recommend acquiring an i-on membership, it’s paid for itself already and there’s lots of discounts about town in restaurants and bars. Grab one now!” — Diane Johnston, Facebook review
