Being an Artisan Seller for Country Living Marketplace

Hand-made, Heart-felt, and Here’s What It Takes

As a maker, a crafter, an artisan — someone who pours time, care and creativity into every piece — being a seller on Country Living Marketplace has felt like joining a community that values craft and authenticity above all. The Marketplace is more than an online shop. It’s a place curated by people who believe in handmade, small-batch and thoughtfully made goods.

Working with Country Living Marketplace can bring a lot more than just orders in the basket. Some of the benefits:

• Broader reach with less hassle. Instead of building and marketing your own e-commerce site from scratch — with all the overhead in time, cost, tech — you tap into an existing platform with traffic, credibility and infrastructure.
• Credibility & trust. Being accepted as a “Country Living Approved” artisan gives you a mark of quality that carries weight — for customers, for editors, for collaborations.  
• A community of makers. You’re not alone. The Marketplace brings together a wide variety of artisans — ceramists, textile artists, illustrators, leather-workers, chocolatiers, and more — I am certainly looking forward to getting out and about under The Country Living Banner in the New Year.  

Being accepted was just the best news!

I have put so much time into my website however the costs of competing with the bigger galleries and artists can quite a lot of time so opting for Country Living Marketplace felt like the right move for me to grow and expand my reach.

Final Thoughts: Craft, Values & Growth — A Partnership, Not Just a Shop

Being an artisan seller on Country Living Marketplace isn’t just about listing products and hoping for sales. It’s about embracing a partnership: between you — the maker — and a platform that values craftsmanship, heritage, and quality. It’s about presenting your craft thoughtfully, honouring the work you put in, and building a brand that reflects not only what you make — but why.

I treat my craft as both art and business — with care, consistency, and passion — the Country Living Marketplace offers a wonderful home, exposure, and opportunities to grow. In a world of mass-produced goods, there’s something powerful about choosing to hand-make, to be small but real, to be seen and appreciated by people who value what you stand for.

I am so excited to soon be able to reveal the new artwork for 2026.
