Hosted by IDEAS Birmingham
IDEAS Birmingham stands for: Independent Designer Events for Artists and Shoppers in Birmingham and the surrounding area. We evolved from the existing British Team called Craft Britannia. A number of us from the region wanted to emulate much of what we had there on a local level. We didn’t want to restrict the team to Birmingham alone, and along with our Brummie teammates, we also have members based in the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire too.
We have taken part in Etsy Made Local every year for 5 years it was running. For 2020, due to the pandemic, it became an online event called The Etsy Market which we have also taken part in twice now, once for Christmas 2020 and a Summer Market in July 2021.
To find out more, have a quick read of our Team Introduction Post.
