Bedford Makers And Designers

    Bedford Makers and Designers is a group of artists, makers and designers from Bedfordshire. We have a main workshop, studio and pottery at Cardington Workshops just outside Bedford, where we produce high quality porcelain and stoneware pottery, ceramics, sculpture and other crafts which we sell from our own gallery, as well as other outlets. We also undertake commissions and we welcome trade and commercial enquiries.

    Our gallery is open Monday to Friday from 10am until 4.30pm. Displays, craft fairs and markets may preclude weekend opening; so please telephone us on 01234 741677 for details.

    Occaisionally we hold exhibitions, demonstrations and raku firings, as well as participating in open studio events, having a few sales and perhaps a party.....      Keep in touch.

  The workshops are currently home to:

    POG Crafts—Paul McGrath and Graham Fielder, POTTERY and CERAMICS
                          (and anything else that involves fire!)

    Dan Hennigan—SCULPTURE and MODELLING
                              (and all kinds of weird, oddball stuff.)

    Steve Turner—SHINY PAINTINGS
                            (Glamorous, rich and yet kitsch all in the same breath.)
