Join Inky Butterfly as a founding maker
Our Philosophy
Inky Butterfly is being created as a local online hub for handmade gifts, art, crafts and creative products from independent makers across West Norfolk and the surrounding area.
The idea is simple: to make it easier for people to discover, support and buy from local creative businesses.
We are starting small and inviting a limited number of founding makers to be listed for free while we build the directory and test the idea
What’s included
As a founding maker, you will receive:
- Your own maker profile page
- A short introduction to you and your work
- Product photos or gallery
- Links to your website, Etsy shop, Facebook, Instagram or email
- Inclusion in relevant product categories
- Opportunities to appear in social media posts and gift guides
How it works
Inky Butterfly is not currently taking payments or managing orders.
Instead, your listing acts as a local shop window. Visitors can discover your work and then click through to buy from you directly, using your existing shop, website, social media page or preferred contact method.
This keeps things simple while we test what local makers and customers need most.
Who can apply?
We would love to hear from makers who create:
- Art and prints
- Handmade cards and stationery
- Jewellery
- Textiles and sewn items
- Ceramics and pottery
- Candles and home fragrance
- Woodcraft
- Homeware
- Gifts for children
- Seasonal decorations
- Personalised or commissioned gifts
- Other handmade or creative products
