Our iconic makers’ shop is a destination for Bridport shoppers. Built for a tailor in 1845 and decorated inside and out with hand carved details it’s a perfect home for handcrafted work. We continue the making tradition with a book bindery above and a treasure trove of beautiful, art and craft work on display downstairs, featuring notebooks, block prints, ceramics, woodwork and textiles from local makers.​

We are open from Tuesday – Saturday 10am – 5pm.  And only 5-minute walk from the ​town ​centre​ along West Street and over the river into West Allington. There is parking for six cars outside the shop and Plottingham car park is only a 1-minute walk.

In 2024 we launched a programme of outreach events to support creativity within the community beginning with a network event for writers. Upcoming opportunities for writers will include readings, urban writing retreats and poetry postcard workshops. Similar outreach programmes are planned for a range of creative pursuits in the coming years.
