buy handmade – buy local – buy beautiful
The Directory is the place to find beautiful handmade art, craft, design and local produce. Open Culture are all about supporting independent makers and traders, and we hope that you can use this resource to assist with your online shopping. Most of the shops listed here are in the Liverpool City Region, but we’ve also handpicked some creatives from further afield who have featured at our art markets in the past.
This page is a work in progress, so keep checking back as we’re adding more awesome folk all the time!
