Made in Stirling
Made in Stirling is a creative hub for the local arts sector: a showcase, shop and venue in a former empty shop unit in the very heart of the town centre. It started life as a pop-up project, moving around six times before it found its permanent home at 44 King Street. Their reputation grew with each move, and they have now supported over 150 local artists, designers and makers.
The hub was set up by Creative Stirling, which supports grassroots creativity in Stirling through a range of initiatives, including Made in Stirling. They work closely with the artists and creatives in the collective to find new audiences for their work and accelerate sales, offering advice on everything from display to pricing and ways to diversify and promote new products. Not everyone needs help, but the aim is to support every artist and maker reach their full potential.

The 'show & sell' hub at 44 King Street stocks a beautiful, unique and fun range of ceramics and jewellery through to food products, photography and fine art shipped locally and worldwide. It is also more than a shop and a showcase for local artists: it hosts workshops for adults and children, events spaces for hire, exhibitions, workspaces and pods for creative start-ups.
