MAKE Southwest (formerly Devon Guild of Craftsmen) is a contemporary craft centre with galleries and shop in Bovey Tracey, Devon, UK. We are now open from 11-5 Wednesday Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. Our café and toilets are closed for now. (10/11/2021)

Located in Bovey Tracey on the edge of Dartmoor, our large gallery and shop offer a great venue with inspiring exhibitions and events, encouraging people to support, make and learn about contemporary craft.

The Devon Guild of Craftsmen was founded in 1955 by a small group of makers, led by Edward Baly, who were enthusiastic about the idea of promoting the best in regional craftwork. From 1956, and for the next 30 years, annual exhibitions at venues throughout South Devon were enthusiastically received.

In 1986 the Guild took the massive step of purchasing Riverside Mill. The building now houses a shop and 3 exhibition galleries, which stage over 20 exhibitions throughout the year!

Working from our Exeter city centre base, Double Elephant Print Workshop offers courses, resources and support to professional printmakers, artists and beginners alike.

The aims of Double Elephant Print Workshop are:

to provide open access to fine art printmaking resources and equipment
to encourage and support everyone to discover their creativity
to offer a full range of courses in printmaking including outreach to schools, our community and marginalised groups.
to provide high quality exhibitions, print sales and an editioning service.
to maintain a friendly, accessible, environmentally healthy and solvent-free working environment.

DEPW currently has over 110 artist members from across the south west of England. We support professional and emerging artists as well as those new to printmaking. In addition we work with groups of people normally excluded from mainstream arts activity, both in our workshop and off-site through our portable workshop facilities. Each year we work with over 3000 children, young people and adults through our outreach programme. Most of our work is based throughout Devon, but our outreach extends across the South West.

What’s the opportunity?

So the United Nations and climate science say we have until just 2030 to cut global CO2 emissions. If we don’t do it, we risk the ability of future generations to be able to survive on this beautiful planet.

The good news is that most actions that save CO2 increase quality of life, health and wellbeing, and can save money too. Decarbonisation is also one of our biggest economic opportunities. Our low carbon society after 2030 will be a big step forwards for quality of life, and we’ll be healthier and happier! Read on to find out why.

And that’s ride2cop26 finished.

570 miles
Loads of punctures
Lots of weird snack combinations
So much fun
Some very gritty moments
Lots of rain
And most of all, so many incredible people who took part in the cargo relay or just joined for the ride for a few miles.

The greatest Thankyou to all the people who were involved.

Onwards to @cop26uk and then turning this adventure into a film (where we aim to share all the amazing stories of the climate crisis and collective action, we have heard along the way)
