Guild of Alternative Artisans

The Guild of Alternative Artisans is a free directory showcasing handmade products and designs that you won't find at your typical village craft fair. We're a community for artisans creating anything alternative, a bit out there - from 18+ and fetish items to goth accessories, bizarre art, taxidermy, and everything in between.

Our Mission

We aim to showcase handmade products and designs to customers whilst recognising the true value of handmade craftsmanship. The Guild serves as a bridge between talented alternative artisans and customers seeking unique, handcrafted items.

How It Works

  • For Artisans: Free advertising space to showcase your work and connect with customers
  • For Customers: An easy source to find artisans making the alternative products you're interested in
  • For Everyone: A celebration of creativity that exists outside the mainstream

What Makes Us Different

We focus specifically on alternative crafts - the unique, the unusual, the wonderfully bizarre. Whether you're creating leather goods, alternative jewellery, gothic art, or anything that pushes creative boundaries, the Guild is for you.
