This is a great place to go to if you're looking for unique gifts, art pieces and also your purchases will help a local artist! I like the concept that they've set up here and it's nice to see the artists busy working away on their pieces whilst waiting for customers. Cost is tough one; some pieces can be expensive but you are paying for quality craftsmanship.
Great selection of designers and makers in interesting galleried space. Ceramics, jewellery, fashion, and paintings. Good little cafe in centre.
Really great place to poke around as a tourist. Our train was delayed the following day so we came back for a coffee and to fill out some post cards. Highly recommend. The artists are all extremely talented and the building is gorgeous.
Situated in the old fish market and housing a number of small craft, jewelry, pottery and textile artists/ makers it's a lovely place to spend an hour or two. You could find a lovely gift for someone, have a delicious lunch and really enjoy your time in this interesting old building
It is a vibrant creative hub located in the heart of Manchester's NQ. The centre is housed in a beautifully restored Victorian building. The centre features a wide range of art and design studios, where you can watch the artists at work and learn about their craft. The studios cover a range of disciplines, including jewellery-making, ceramics, printmaking, and textiles. It is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in handmade crafts and contemporary design.
Such a sweet building full of craft and mainly jewellery stalls. You have to visit the upper balcony level to view inside the workshops. Music playing throughout and a small cafe tucked in the middle. Very relaxing
Amazing place and very very nicely reused old building. I visit the place just for 5 minutes but it was so nice, that I stayed 45 minutes. Inside you will have different shops of crafts and arts. And all item are hand made. And you can see the artist working inside their shops and making new piece of art or craft. There is also a small space where kids can sit and make there own art piece. So you can also visit with your family. Definitely visit place in Manchester.
