There are so many talented makers, artists and crafters in our towns, villages and creative communities - but finding them is not always easy.
Inky Butterfly brings them together in one place, making it simpler to discover handmade gifts, original artwork, cards, jewellery, textiles, homeware, seasonal pieces and more.
At this stage, Inky Butterfly is a curated directory rather than a full online marketplace. That means each maker handles their own sales, while we help more people find them.

We're currently looking for our first founding makers to help shape Inky Butterfly.
If you create handmade products, artwork, gifts or creative pieces, we would love to hear from you.
We are currently inviting a small number of founding makers to join Inky Butterfly for free while we build and test the idea.
You will receive your own maker profile, product images, links to your shop or social pages, and the opportunity to be included in local gift guides and social posts.
