ABOUT US
Vale Makers is a collective of skilled craftspeople working across the rural Vale of Glamorgan. Our members represent a rich mix of disciplines — from ceramics, glass and woodwork to textiles, jewellery, printmaking and more. The group was created to champion independent makers, celebrate high‑quality craftsmanship, and bring people together through vibrant Makers Markets and community‑led creative events.
If you are a maker based in the rural Vale and would like to apply to join the collective, we welcome work that is original, made from raw materials, and produced to a consistently high standard. To find out more about becoming a member, please get in touch at hello@valemakers.org for further information.
MEET THE MAKERS
Meet the people who bring creativity to life across the Vale. Our collective is made up of artists, makers, and independent creators who share a passion for craft, collaboration, and community. Each member brings their own story, skills, and spark — together forming a vibrant network that celebrates local talent and the joy of making.
