About the Craft Shop

The Craft Shop was established in October 1981 within the Royal Exchange Theatre building. We sell quality handmade crafts by makers working across the U.K.

Commissions are welcome, from ring sizing for that special occasion to bespoke gifts. Greetings cards and stationery are also available.

We also host changing exhibitions - see the exhibition page, join our mailing list or visit our blog www.rxcraftshop.blogspot.com. You can also follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/rxcraftshop and Facebook www.facebook.com/rxcraftshop.
