How do you build a community of independent artists and creatives from all backgrounds?
That's what Rhea of @handmadenotts has been doing for the past ten years. Supporting other independents, small businesses and championing those who have something to say.
Handmade Nottingham recently celebrated their 10th Birthday and as Christmas fast approaches, Rhea took some time out of her busy Christmas prep to talk to us. We spoke about the importance of inclusion in retail, inclusive marketing on a smaller scale and how she's created a warm, welcoming space that celebrates diversity for both artists and customers.
There's a reason why we love Handmade Nottingham. If you're about to start Christmas shopping or need a break, give a listen to episode 8 when it drops this Friday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc.
And remember to shop local and support independents this Christmas.
