Speaking of the collaboration, founder of Curated Makers, Megan Jones, said:

“We are delighted to return to Liverpool and to showcase the talent of our local artists. The makers involved and I, are thrilled to be here for six-weeks. The opportunity to have short-term access to pop-up within John Lewis & Partners, Liverpool ONE, was an aspiration when I launched the brand back in 2017. To now be able to offer this opportunity to over 25 local businesses, is a real privilege.

If you want to support small business but the weather is against you or you struggle to find the dates of local artisan markets, then look no further as we’ll be in store 7 days a week until 18^thOctober, open the same hours as John Lewis. It’s definitely worth a visit. “
