It all began back in 1955 when a group of local makers worked together and organised a joint exhibition of their work, which has inspired others ever since.
The MAKE Southwest Summer Show is a showcase of some of the finest craftsmanship from our Membership. Works are chosen by our Selection Committee: a group of member representatives from a range of craft disciplines and an independent panellist, alongside MAKE Southwest exhibition staff.
Each year prizes are awarded to exhibitors whose work shows an outstanding use of craft skill and innovation. The following awards will be presented:
- President’s Prize - Chosen by MAKE Southwest president Peter Randall-Page
- RA Selection Committee Award for Excellence - Chosen by the Selection Committee
- Green Maker Award - Selected by the University of Plymouth
- Green Maker Initiative People’s Choice Award – Chosen by the public
Come along to explore a wide range of craft skills and vote for your favourite maker from the exhibition.
