The fair represents the best British contemporary art & design attracting over several hundred designers, artists and craft makers from the UK with over five hundred stands, where buyers and exhibitors take inspiration from the quality, variety and originality of the exhibits on show.
Previous years have seen the students receive interest from retail buyers, galleries and agents receiving constructive feedback.
Students aim to develop their personal professional development and work-based opportunities, securing gallery space for their work, negotiating commissions and networking with some of the most influential and innovative UK designers.
Course Leader Heidi Donohoe said: “Harrogate College have exhibited at the British Trade Craft Fair for many years and we are always excited by the level of interest and enquiries we receive from potential galleries, buyers etc seeking to represent work; equally our students are very enthusiastic about exhibiting their work at such a prestigious event and hope to be able to form some new business from the show.”
