Haworth and Yorkshire Creatives Makers’ Market comes to the Old School Room where Charlotte Bronte married

Yorkshire artists, makers, designers and crafters are gathering in Haworth next month to celebrate the handmade movement at the Old School Room - where the Brontë sisters taught and Charlotte Brontë got married in 1854 - to showcase and sell their designs at the Haworth and Yorkshire Creatives Makers’ Market.

Makers include Flawed Maud, which has handmade silver, copper and birthstone jewellery, made using traditional techniques to create minimalistic, organic pieces certified with artisan Jo’s registered mark.

There is also From the Mountains and the Moon, which uses recycled metal and gemstones to create statement jewellery and greetings cards crafted by a Yorkshire-based self-taught metalsmith and ex-zookeeper inspired by nature, with a gothic fantasy twist.

Essential Crystals has ethically sourced healing crystals made into gifts from keyrings to jewellery, while Bombz Hydrotherapy makes quirky bath bombs in vibrant colours, themed to pay tribute to favourite films and music. Bombz has been working on a Bronte collection, with the help of Kanteli Collectables, to create a period backdrop of old stoneware ink wells and pot jars decorated with Bronte book covers, pseudonym names and quotes.
