Somerset Guild of Craftsmen
The Somerset Guild is one of the oldest Craft Guilds in the country and has been promoting excellence in design and craftsmanship for more than 80 years. All our makers are skilled, dedicated craftsmen who have undergone a stringent selection process before becoming accepted as exhibiting Members. To be a member of the Somerset Guild is a mark of quality.
Based in the beautiful cathedral City of Wells, the Guild has a County wide membership of over 120 members. The Somerset Guild of Craftsmen (SGC) Shop is open throughout the year showcasing an ever increasing range of members’ work for you to admire and buy knowing that you have acquired a piece that is beautifully and individually created by a local maker.
Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm
