The SELECT SHOWCASE will bring together designer makers, artists and innovators in a fantastic three-day event promoting all that is best in modern, contemporary British arts, crafts and design.

Visitors will experience a vibrant mix of talks, demonstrations and hands on workshops from leading designer makers and academics, with the opportunity to buy and commission exciting and original work.

Running alongside will be SITselect’s inspirational, annual one-day conference. This year we continue the debate and discussion focusing on The Maker and the Machine. Matching makers who craft only by hand with those who use new technology to create their work.
Come and be inspired!
