The Crafter’s Market Platform
We’re a marketplace for extraordinary handmade gifts
by passionate UK-based crafters
Crafter’s Market UK was Co-Founded in Bristol by two independent crafters, David and Holly, to introduce a breath of fresh air to the crafting marketplace scene.
Created out of the frustrations of using some of the alternative marketplaces out there, Crafter’s Market UK has been formed with the aim of creating a supportive community of likeminded crafters to help one another grow and succeed.
As crafters ourselves, we can appreciate and sympathise with the struggles that a craft business can face. Including the gut wrenching lack of profits that are generated once all expenses are taken out.
It’s not unusual to find sellers who don’t charge adequately for the time and the skill involved in creating their items in an effort to keep prices low and undercut their competitors.
“Our aim is to create a community of likeminded crafters whilst introducing a risk free opportunity with no up-front costs.”
~Holly
A risk free opportunity
We strongly believe that the platform in which they choose to sell on should not be a major contributor to the ever growing list of expenses. It’s for this reason we will always try to remain one of the most competitively priced sites around. Always allowing for a risk free opportunity, and never hiding any costs.
Crafters should be able to advertise their products without having to risk precious funds upfront – keeping us motivated at advertising your products too.

Why should I sell with Crafter’s Market?
It’s certainly no secret that there are quite a few craft-based marketplaces out there, for example, Etsy. Crafter’s Market UK (CMUK) is one such multivendor platform but with a slightly different approach and focus, making it a great alternative.
CMUK is not about just turning a quick profit but instead aims to create a community of likeminded crafters. It is about helping each other over discussions with marketing and small business queries- all with accompanied by a secure shopping platform for its customers.
