The Appledore Crafts Company

The Appledore Crafts Company is one of the leading contemporary craft galleries in the South West. The gallery's shop is run by a co-operative of local designer-makers exhibiting and selling our own original work as well as that of selected associate members.

We are based in the heart of the lively port of Appledore - a traditional North Devon fishing village with a thriving artistic community. There are many studios and craft shops dotted amongst the lanes and each year the village hosts the prestigious Appledore Visual Arts Festival.

Members of The Appledore Crafts Company produce a wide range of work including metal sculpture, studio pottery, baskets, original prints, glass, leather, ceramics, textiles, hand-made books, furniture and jewellery.

In addition to the regular display of contemporary craft, The Appledore Crafts Company holds two annual exhibitions. One in June showcasing the work of the members, and another in the autumn featuring a well-known local North Devon artist.

The Appledore Crafts Company shop is open from 10am to 5pm in the summer and from 10am to 4pm in the winter (see the Contact page for full details).
