craftscotland at Homes & Interiors Scotland 2008

Over the past two years craftscotland has held an exhibition of craft by leading and emerging Scottish makers at the Homes & Interiors Scotland exhibition.

In 2008 the event will take place during the earlier dates of the 29 to 31 August. It will be in a bigger hall than before and there will be a special trade event on the Friday for architects, retailers and interior designers to view the work.

craftscotland will be presenting a group of makers within the craftscotland stand who specialise in interior products.

We are inviting applications for twelve individual 3m x 2m stands. In each space there will be simple white plinths with low small dividing walls, so the area feels different to the rest of the show.  These spaces are being offered at a subsidised rate of £500 each (worth £1,440 each) for the full three days.

To encourage makers who have either recently graduated or have been in business for less than three years, two of these stands can be shared.

The deadline for applications is Friday 18 April 2008.  Full guidelines and the application form can be downloaded below.
