Talented artists, designers and craftspeople have worked in and around Chipping Campden and the north Cotswolds since the time of the Arts and Crafts movement in the early 20th century. The Museum celebrates their lives and their skill.

Museum Shop
Exclusive gifts and books are available from the Museum shop, inspired by its collections. Includes handcrafted gifts, contemporary jewellery, locally made pottery, books (click for more on books) and cards. Every purchase supports the Museum.

This Spring our Featured Artist is Cotswold Woollen Weavers. Cotswold Woollen Weavers has been in Filkins designing and making fine woollen cloth since 1982. They live and breathe the wool heritage that made the Cotswolds, and draw their inspiration from the soft colours of the Cotswold landscape all around us.
