Get ready to go behind the scenes with the makers who shape Sussex.

Studio Safaris are back! Our immersive, small-group experiences that take you straight into the working studios of some of the region's most talented craftspeople. Hosted by The Makers Directory in partnership with Sussex Craft Week, these exclusive curated journeys offer something you won't find anywhere else - conversations with real makers in the spaces where their work comes to life.

What makes a Studio Safari unmissable
Intimate access: Step into private studios, watch makers at their benches, and ask the questions you've always wondered about.
Curated routes: Each Safari is thoughtfully designed to showcase a mix of disciplines, from ceramics and textiles to metalwork and furniture, all within a single inspiring day.
Stories behind the craft: Discover the techniques, inspirations, and happy accidents that shape each maker's practice.
Leave with new connections (and maybe a few purchases).

Who is it for?
Whether you're a collector seeking your next piece, a maker looking for inspiration, or simply curious about how beautiful things get made, Studio Safaris delivers an experience that's equal parts education, inspiration, and pure creative joy.

Spaces on each Safari are limited to 8 people. These are deliberately small groups to keep the experience personal and the conversations meaningful.
