The waiting is over, here they are, our craft&design Selected Award Winners for 2013, including our Maker of the Year, the Gold Award Winner who polled the most votes - our Specialist Judges had some lovely things to say about them all. 

Many congratulations to our Winners and Finalists, this year's online voters had well over 1,100 designer makers to choose from, so it's an amazing achievement for them all.
