Interested in Working With Just Makers?
Just Makers is built around careful curation. We work with a selected group of independent artists whose work aligns with the quality and standards we want the business to be known for.
Most of the artists we work with are people we discover directly through recommendations, exhibitions, social media and ongoing relationships within the creative community.
Because space within the shop is limited, we are not always actively looking to expand the number of artists we represent. Decisions are based not only on individual pieces, but on how the work fits within the wider collection and direction of the business.
That said, we’re always interested in discovering exceptional work from Yorkshire based artists.
If you feel your work may be a good fit for Just Makers, then please read on.
How Working With Us Works
If accepted, your work will be sold in our shop and may also feature online. We work predominantly on a sale-or-return basis and value open and transparent relationships with the artists we represent.
New work is usually introduced for an initial period of around three months. This gives us time to see how it sits in the shop and how customers respond. After that, we’ll decide whether to continue with the work, adjust the selection or return it.
What We Need From You
If you’d like us to consider your work, please email us with the following:
- Good-quality images of the collection you’d like us to review
- Links to your existing online presence
- A short introduction to you and your practice, including process and materials
Please send all information in one email. We’re unable to review incomplete submissions.
How To Apply

We review applications regularly. Due to the volume of enquiries we receive, we’re unable to respond to every application individually. If you haven’t heard from us within 3 weeks, please assume we’re unable to proceed on this occasion.
As the shop can be busy, we’re unable to review work brought in unannounced or discuss applications by phone. Please contact us by email so we can give applications proper consideration.
