Manchester Craft and Design Centre's talented community of makers have kept calm and carried on making during these unprecedented times. Home to over 40 small creative businesses, in line with the rest of the country they had to close the doors of their historic Victorian Fish Market building in the Northern Quarter back in March. Manchester Craft and Design Centre is encouraging those shopping from home to support local independents by buying handmade gifts online - a vital way you can show your support and keep local small businesses going. There's a fantastic range of gifts to spoil your loved ones with, or to order as a treat for yourself. A new MCAD Craft at Home website has links to the makers' online selection of products. You can shop via Instagram, their websites, or Facebook, or contact them directly if you have any questions or bespoke requests. The team have also designed family-friendly #MCADMakerBees activities for you to craft at home and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of making. The Manchester Bee has been a symbol of unity for over 150 years and the team wanted to celebrate the busy key workers that have helped keep our region going during the Coronavirus pandemic. Hang your bees up in your window to show your support or share pictures of your buzzing creations using #MCADMakerBees. Manchester Craft and Design Centre hopes to welcome makers and visitors back later this year and will be sharing regular updates via their social media channels. In the meantime, show some support for our region's makers and discover full instructions for all six bees to craft at home, at www.manchestercraft.co.uk
