You don’t have to stick to the traditional High Street haunts for presents when you can find something unique at a craft fair, exhibition or specialist shop.
Gateshead’s Shipley Art Gallery has an annual craft exhibition where you can pick out the ideal gift.
Now in its 13th year, it focuses on quality wood, metal, glass and exquisite hand-crafted jewellery.
This year’s exhibition features some more unusual pieces including, for the first time, a range of men’s jewellery designed by Benjamin James, who finds inspiration in the ever-changing industrial world. The exhibition also includes work by makers such as glass artists Graham Muir and Stuart Ackroyd, metalsmith Anne Masey and a range of craftspeople in wood.
With gifts ranging from pounds 20 to over pounds 1,000 visitors will be able to buy hand-crafted gifts that will last the test of time.
One of the region’s leading architectural practices, Browne Smith, Baker is sponsoring Christmas Present for the fourth year. It opens from November 14 until January 11 and the Shipley Art Gallery is open Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 2pm to 5pm. Admission is free.
