NATIVE MAKERS AT Ocean studios

TAKE PART IN OUR 2024 MARKETS

Native Makers is Coming to Cornwall  

APPLICATIONS OPEN

Save the date: 7th December – 10am - 4pm  -

Native Makers at Liskeard Library. Liskeard proudly boasts a burgeoning maker's scene and is developing a number of amazing studios, markets, shops and galleries that display and sell local work. We aim to create an opportunity to really add to this movement by bringing the much loved Native Makers Market, along with the loyal following of people who buy from these, into the town. We will be ring fencing some of the pitches for PL14 makers and hope this provides a valuable platform for the wider South East Cornwall making scene to coalesce here in Liskeard.

Over the past year, we’ve been listening to your needs, and we hear you loud and clear – makers need more opportunities to connect and collaborate with new audiences and fellow creators.
