The origins of the organisation go all the way back to 1980s. The first fairs were held in Edinburgh in the Assembly Rooms. Fairs in Glasgow began soon after, with other cities and venues added later. Since then 3D/2D has established a strong, reliable reputation for quality and diversity with both the public and potential exhibitors.

Currently all the events that 3D/2D organises, or participates in, are based in Scotland. 3D/2D's exhibitors are drawn from all over Britain, with the majority living and working in Scotland. With several hundred active exhibitors, no two 3D/2D events are the same. New faces and new work can be found at every event.

3D/2D's goal is to promote home-grown talent; imported craft can be bought in every town and city these days and, while it is often very good (and very reasonably priced), there's a richness and diversity in the work being produced in Scotland, and in Britain as a whole, that is unbeatable.
