Brigantia is an association which aims to bring together the very best of art and craft workers in the North York Moors, Wolds, Dales and Coastal area.
It is non-profit making and was formed to promote and improve the marketing potential of its members.
The association carries a ‘label’ of craftsmanship, which identifies products of originality and quality made within the area; the strength of that label provides professional and powerful marketing support to the craft and art worker.
