Nominations open for Country Living's 40 of the Best Artisans Awards 2025
To celebrate Country Living’s 40th birthday, we are delighted to launch our nationwide search for 40 of the Best Artisans 2025. We are looking for small businesses, makers and producers who share our passion for craftsmanship, quality and sustainability, and are calling for nominations across a range of artisanal and heritage crafts – from potters and textile artists to weavers, cheesemakers and blacksmiths.
We are thrilled to announce that Emma Bridgewater – owner and founder of the iconic British pottery brand – is our Awards Patron and will be self-selecting artisans from the final 40 for a bespoke mentorship opportunity.
The winning 40 will receive:
- A year’s free membership to the Country Living Artisan Collective, our brand-new small business membership programme launching this spring.
- An invitation to an award-winners’ event at the Country Living Christmas Market in London this November
- An opportunity to showcase your work on Country Living’s content channels
- Our stamp of approval: An official 40 of the Best Artisans 2025 stamp to use across all your own channels
- PLUS the opportunity to be selected for an exclusive mentorship with Emma Bridgewater
The final list of 40 will be judged by Country Living editors and be announced in the autumn.
Nominations will close on Sunday 8th June. We wish you the very best of luck!
