The exhibition will be held at Enginuity, Coalbrookdale, Ironbridge, and for the second year, the makers will be joined by many of the region’s top food and drink producers to include homemade cakes and biscuits, locally produced wine, free range meat and preserves.

Visitors to the ‘Gorgeous’ Contemporary Craft and Fine Food Fair will be able to view and buy original craft work of the highest quality as well as meet the designer makers.

Chairman of the Guild and ceramicist Ralph Jandrell said “every year, The Shropshire Guild of Contemporary Craft organise a unique creative selling exhibition featuring the most talented designer makers from Shropshire and the West Midlands. Gorgeous is the biggest contemporary craft event in the region – and this year not only do we have over 35 designer makers exhibiting their exclusive wares to include ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, textiles and much more, but we also have a wonderful selection of local food producers too".

This remarkable selling exhibition of unique craftwork and gourmet produce will be held in the Engine Room at Enginuity, the Ironbridge Gorge’s fascinating interactive design and technology centre, and runs from Saturday 10th October 10am-5pm, and Sunday 11th October from 10am – 4.30pm.

Entrance to Gorgeous is £2.50 per person and free for children under 12 (this does not include entrance to Enginuity).
