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.

You have booked a space at a local arts and crafts fair and your attention turns to designing your stall. Don’t underestimate the important of this, as first impressions will attract customers to your stall and hopefully buy something. First of all, what is the size of your stall? How much space will you have? This really depends on the event you are attending. Most events in town halls, village halls etc provide a 7ft x 5ft space with a 6ft x 2ft table. You must work within this space as you will upset other stall holders and worst ...

So, after much thought and deliberation, you have decided to attend your first art and craft fair. Let’s be honest, it is a big step. Well it was for me, as I was lacking in confidence putting my art out on display, thinking that people might want to buy it. First step, what is your objective? What are you to trying to achieve? Why are you trying to achieve it? What would good look like? Yes, I have practiced project management for several years and I have a need to plan! My objective is to promote my artwork, promote interest and ...

Hands up. Who keeps a journal? A journal of any kind? Me!! I could be considered as a ‘sad’ person as I keep a running journal (yes, I am a mad keen runner) a gardening journal which helps plans out ideas for the garden, recording successes and failures. And, more importantly, an art journal. July 2019 saw my return to art, finally having the time to dig out those paints and other art equipment and get back to what I really love. Painting!! Don’t know about you guys, but inspiration comes in many forms and at unexpected times and ...

Hi all, this is my first Blog on here. My name is Rona from RonasBeadsAboard. I have been making gemstone beaded jewellery for many years now. 5 years ago my partner and I bought a canal boat and spent 4 years travelling around the southern canals and rivers, hence the Aboard bit of my business name. I got a Roving Canal Trader licence and we had a lot of fun trading at organised floating markets, as well as on our own. Last year, events came together to sell the boat and return to the house which had been rented out. At the beginning ...

The lockdown rules continue to be eased across the UK. Each country is easing the restrictions at a different speed but all seem to be moving in the same direction. The easing of the restrictions does not mean that the virus has gone away just yet. It is in general circulation according to the current alert level 3. We all need to keep ourselves safe and to look after the people around us by being responsible and respectful. The more effective we are at slowing the spread of the virus the better the community will be. Everyone ...

Art and Craft Inspiration During Lockdown.

Having decided to sort out my cupboards and drawers, I thought I would use some of the materials that had not seen the light of day for many years. With some of the wool I came across, I knitted a rabbit for a friends new grandson. I called him Roger! I put together some greetings cards, of prints of my felted pictures. Talking of which, something I have not done for years, I painted a picture of our back garden, using some of the acrylic paint I had hoarded. Ive ventured into needle felting, using this technique onto stiffened wet-felted ...

hi my lovelies I did say I would try and blog once a week, and here we are. It has been an eventful week for me as hubby was taken into hospital again! although that seems like a normal thing at the moment. Anyway two things happen when he is in hospital, I craft longer and eat less. Both of which are always a plus. This week I discovered the joys of 3d mandalas cut on my trusty scan and cut. Oh my word they look stunning and I am addicted. I also have Mandela letters and have been having a lot of fun with them too. I will be ...

I love Patchworking and after this i am sure you will too ... Patchwork is a great way to use up your scrap pieces of fabric nothing has to match that is the beauty of it. This elephant is a great beginner patchwork project when you have completed this you will have the basic skills to complete and start to move on to more challenging product such as quilting. What is the difference between patchwork and quilting? Patchwork is where a range of fabric are sewed together just like this elephant Quilting is where fabric is sandwiched ...

My name is Debbie and I have been drawing and painting all my life. My life changed enormously last year when my mum and then my husband died within two weeks of each other. Then I ended up in hospital having a major operation which took months of recovery. All that made me realise that I should work on doing what I love most and so I set up my Facebook page, DJArtBoutique, and began drawing and painting from photographs sent to me. Most are of pets or children but I am happy with any subject matter. I also started to make my own ...

Hi all, Well while I am an old hand and crafting and card making this is at the first time Ive gone public. It is a little scary and I know there is lots of competition out there especially for card making which is why I try to be as unique as possible. my memory albums and pop up boxes are really popular and I would love to share them with you all. I am hoping to begin attending craft fairs selling my cards and gifts and joining in the crafting community, so your help and guidance will be greatly appreciated. So I began crafting ...

Coping with any change can be difficult and perhaps rather challenging. Disruption on the levels we have seen in the last few months have impacted everyone. We have to believe that in time the problems will diminish and we will be able to choose between going back to the way we once lived or to perhaps look for something better. Whilst writing this post the sky is a pure clean deep blue. The air feels fresher and the plants, birds and wildlife seem more abundant than just weeks before. It has given us a glimmer of hope and a window ...

This was so difficult! It all started when people were enquiring about some “nice” prints of my artwork. One friend was requesting a reproduction on canvas (I was not prepared to sell the original). Of course, what they were asking for were giclee prints (until recently, I had never heard that term, giclee). As I am new and inexperienced to this, a great deal of research was undertaken. Google and YouTube are brilliant for this! So, what is a giclee print? “Giclée is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine ...
