SHREWSBURY ARTS & CRAFTS

Shrewsbury Arts and Crafts is a small business made up of multiple small makers, founded in 2019 by Jessica Richards, the creator of the Shrewsbury Arts Trail.

The concession in Shrewsbury Library showcases the work of up to 40 individuals at any one time, both in-store and across social media, celebrating handmade, high-quality, often one-off pieces.

At its core, Shrewsbury Arts and Crafts is built around community — bringing together established artists, emerging local talent, and unique wearable art. 

It also offers workshops and creative activities run by local artists and makers alongside its exhibitions and sales.
