Hi There. My name is Alice and I created Alice’s Wonderbands. I have been a dressmaker for many years and just wanted to do something a little different. I started making these silk skinny scrunchies as they are hard to get hold of especially the truly skinny ones. Alice’s Wonderbands measure just over 1/4 of an inch wide. All of my ... read more

The Yogi Fox creates yoga pants/leggings that are extremely comfortable but also look good. During lockdown I started wearing leggings more and more whilst I was working from home, walking the dog, exercising through yoga, and lounging around and I started to ask myself why are they so boring? So I set about designing my own and I really ... read more

I love Candles! In the lockdown I bought a few candles and they melted away quite messily in the glass jars I had placed them in. It was so disappointing. I am a very practical and inventive person I love adjusting and adapting things to suit my needs and that was the start of my new passion and sleepless nights excited about my new ... read more

My name is Vicki Wainwright and I live in Long Ditton, Surrey and I have a passion for jewellery. I started Hope Jewellery in lockdown as my business in events came to a halt due to the pandemic. I was struggling to occupy my time and keep my spirits up so I thought about what I would be interested to do as a hobby and potentially as ... read more

As a child I loved butterflies and nature and on a trip to Thailand in 2016 my passion was reignited when I came across some framed butterflies in a local market. On my return home I decided to make some of my own. I sourced some butterflies, learnt how to prepare them and being a carpenter by trade made the frames. My appreciation of ... read more

Hi. I’m completely new to this site and have recently started creating quirky Planters with personality. It has kept me sane during lockdown and I just love creating these ladies - giving each one its own personality. They make everyone that sees them smile and that makes me so happy. Ive seen nothing like them anywhere and did my first craft fair today which was a huge success so I’m hoping to start doing lots more this year. I will be adding more items onto my store but wondered how others manage when they sell items at fairs do ...

We do not want to imagine a future, where a young British writer and illustrator looks around them for inspiration from the animal world but there is little to see. When Beatrix Potter created a character called Mrs. Tiggy-winkle she based it on her pet hedgehog. However, these popular native creatures are struggling to survive and have declined by about 50 percent in the last thirty years. Are we doing our bit to make life a little easier for them? Instead of using slug pellets (which can be dangerous for lots of wildlife, pets ...

Piet Mondrian was born in the Netherland but lived in Paris, London and New York. He co-founded De Stijl and created the artistic style of Neoplasticism. The pieces of art had no frame. This is because the person viewing the work should not see it as complete but continues beyond the canvas. Eventually he reduced his work down to three primary colours of blue, red and yellow and horizontal and vertical lines. However, even with these limitations the works and works created in this style have a very Mondrian look even though they ...

We are lucky to live near the River Severn, the somewhat famous bend in the River called the Horseshoe. This gives us plenty of inspiration for sketches, paintings and ideas to bring back to the studio. Our walks have us viewing the river in different weather and seasons and although it is beautiful when the air is calm and colours are sharp, I do love it when the sky is threatening. The River takes on different moods and the colours are ever changing. A day sketching by the river with the weather coming in has brought a flurry of ...

I am Andrea from the ChArming Piece and I am new to Craft Fairs UK. I have launched my business 6 months ago , when I have turned my hobby into a business.

Non essential retail has already reopened and since the 12th April, we have seen a step change in the number of organisers adding new craft events and crafters looking for events to attend. We can’t get away from the fact that last year was hard for everyone. However, with the governments road map aiming to be irreversible, that should give the community confidence to plan and run future craft fairs. On the 17th May it is planned that further social restrictions will be lifted and then on 21st June, it is expected that all restrictions ...

My Velvet Collections are a contemporary interpretation of some of the colours and textures of the fabrics and jewellery in Renaissance and Pre-Raphaelite paintings. They feature faceted natural gemstones set in smooth broad gold bezels against sterling silver, etched by me to my own designs, based on nature and antique lace. My Moss Velvet collection features Green Tourmaline in the colours of deep pools like the green of the stream Ophelia drowned in or into which Narcissus stared at his reflection. The colours of the deep forest ...

Now we have officially entered Spring - it is time to declutter your candles and wax melts! Here are some top tips to get your started: If candles have been sat without lids or covers collecting dust, now is the time to clear them out. There is little point burning a dusty candle as the dust will just clog the wick and they dont look very attractive! You can reuse your candle containers for storage or if you have an attractive glass container, that could be kept and used as a tealight holder. Carefully melt the container in a hot ...

I havent actively put time aside for craft in a long time, and so something that has come out of the lockdowns (all 500 of them!) is the opportunity to reengage with something that I had forgotten I loved doing. I am not sure when I stop or how I stopped, and I certainly do not remember a specific moment with a specific intention on stopping. I guess it was a case of other things came along that were more important at the time, or maybe they just seemed to be. I think this happens for many of us. I find sitting down to make a card, ...

Whilst waiting for physical craft fairs to resume, Ive written this short blog to give some interesting information. Purple Amethyst, the birthstone for February, has been highly prized throughout the ages for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate, and soothe the mind and emotions. It has always been associated with February, the month the Romans dedicated to Neptune, their water-god. It is also the stone of St. Valentine and faithful love. Amethyst is a gem of beauty, whether its crystals are left natural, polished ...

Happy New Year Our biggest intention this year is to help provide the craft community with more via the site. More can be limitless and so may never be reached but we hope you will enjoy the many improvements to come. To help us achieve our intentions, we will be implementing tiny habits by BJ Fogg PhD, into our daily work. Here is a quick overview of how you could use tiny habits too. 1. Clarify an aspiration or intention. You may want to look after yourself better, you may want to become more financially secure ...

Here is our little business. It all started a year ago. We were thinking “we’d come up with a little business” but not a business built on profit, but instead on principals and beliefs. A business that we both can believe in. We are working on somethings that can reminded us of our childhood memories. Those sweet moments when all we cared about was smiling, laughter, great company and a zest for life. A homemade business designed around supporting local farmers, helping people to shop locally, and helping each other by doing the ...

The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.

The talent of makers and artists needs a vent, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.

Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.
