Essex & Borders Crafters is a voluntary, not for profit association, of genuine local craft workers based in Essex and the surrounding counties.
The objective of this website is to provide an online reference point for the location of various crafts, both traditional and modern, across the Anglia region.
Should you be a genuine craft worker yourself, either professional or talented amateur, are proud of the quality and appeal of your workmanship and are keen to put your skills and products in front of a wider audience, we can offer an online presence to promote and showcase your crafts.
