There will also be demonstrations from local and resident makers including a blacksmith's forge. During this special weekend at Dartington you'll find over 30 of the finest, local contemporary craft makers, selling everything from furniture, toys, fine jewellery, preserves and ferments, chocolates and cakes, home spun yarns, to ceramics, honey, candles, textiles, glass and woodwork.

Each maker has been specially selected for the quality and uniqueness of their craft, and each will be on hand to talk to you about the ideas and techniques behind their work and there will be a range of merchandise from local art graduates.

Take part in workshops to make your own groovy gifts and festive delights. Wreath making, ceramic decorations, beeswax brioche tincandles, printed Christmas cards and calligraphy and paper origami tree decorations. Over this wonderful festive weekend you can also hear music from local choirs singing Balkan and Nordic songs , clog dancers, and local pianists playing festive tunes in the Ship Studio.
