Devon Guild of Craftsmen
The Devon Guild of Craftsmen is a registered charity founded in 1955 by Edward Baly and a small group of makers enthusiastic about the idea of promoting the best in regional craftwork. The Guild has now grown from an original membership of eighteen to its current level of around 240 makers, many with national and international reputations. The Guild is renowned for the major crafts showcase at Riverside Mill and for its contribution as the leading promoter and focus of crafts in the South West.
