Tracie Jarvis-Post of Made in Yorkshire said: “Yorkshire has an incredible community of skilled makers, artists and craftspeople.
“The Yorkshire Craft Festival is all about bringing those makers together in one place, giving visitors the chance to discover locally made products, learn new skills and enjoy a creative day out in the heart of York.”
The workshops throughout the week will let visitors try their hand at stained glass making, blacksmithing, felt making, willow weaving and paper craft.
Families can enjoy dedicated children’s activities such as pot painting and paper crafts, while adults can participate in pot throwing and other hands-on sessions led by experienced artisans.
The event aims to highlight the skill and creativity of Yorkshire’s independent craft community.
Entry is free and open to all with more information and workshop bookings available at https://madeinyorkshire.org.uk/events/yorkshire-craft-festival-spring-26
