Each studio comprises of a small display area with maker’s workshop and presents the visitor with a chance to meet the individuals behind the creation of beautifully crafted objects. The Craft & Design Town offers an opportunity to see and buy work of a regional, national and international significance focused within one easily accessible location.

The concept underpinning the Craft & Design Town is the provision of affordable studio accommodation for designer makers, thereby creating a focus for craft & design in West Kilbride whilst regenerating the Main Street. Emphasis is firmly placed upon the delivery of a facility that will help promote community involvement and increase awareness of contemporary craft & design throughout North Ayrshire and beyond.

With other retailers, numerous walks and gardens and the town’s close proximity to the shore, there is something for everyone to enjoy in West Kilbride.
