Specialties

Artisans Collective is a group of local Artists, Artisans, Crafts people and Small Creative Businesses in North Wales, UK.

Our Community Interest Company was formed to showcase and share our talents and encourage promotion of our Art, Craft products and creative abilities within our local community, whilst also using those skills and talents to benefit others and providing fully serviced, affordable space for small creative business.

Our Vision is to help people gain long term sustainable employment locally and to enjoy learning new skills, by sharing our own, skills, knowledge and experience. We are based in the most Easterly Welsh resort town of Prestatyn at the beginning (or end) of Offa’s Dyke national trail. «Twixt Hills And Sea»
