Vigour and Skills pop-up – Ballroom, Asthall Manor

Vigour and Skills is a community of makers with shared values of sustainability, storytelling and craftsmanship. They proudly share every stage of their maker’s creative process with their customers and love watching them fill their lives and homes with objects of singular beauty; a world where every item has a story to tell. Everything you buy from Vigour and Skills is sure to spark a conversation – and every conversation helps to preserve their maker’s craft.

Over the course of the four days, V+S will be showcasing a selection of their makers’ expertly-crafted collections in the Ballroom at Asthall Manor – from ceramics to leather, jewellery, knitwear and woven baskets, many of which can be customised.

There will also be an opportunity to meet the craftspeople and learn about their work, as some of the Vigour and Skills makers will be at Asthall Manor as artists in residence.

Please see here a list of events and residencies taking place so you can come along to learn about all the exquisite handmade presents that have been made especially for you!
