I have applied for Post Newcomers at the British Craft Trade Fair in 2020. Saturday 4th April will be open to the public and the following three days will be open to trade. This is the first time this fair is going to be open for the public for one day, this was a controversial opinion for the traders and buyers, however we shall see how it goes! It was a great experience the first time I showed work here, and since I have learned so much about how I could make my Post Newcom

On 23rd October there will be a night to begin your Christmas shopping at Merchant No.1, Monkseaton. On this night there will be a chance to put in orders and buy on the night for Christmas (and birthdays/general gifts). These are all handmade crafts from local makers, anything from ceramics and concrete to upholstery and paintings. #christmas #christmasmarkets #merrychristmas #art #artist #maker #design #seller #etsy #etsyseller #handmade #handmadeproducts #ceramic #ceramic

As Northern Craft Fair has now finished, I am looking at booking a stall at Tynemouth Market every Sunday on the run up to Christmas (or try and book). I also have pen at Crafts in the Pen at Skipton on 16-17th November. I loved it last time and thought I would try again this year too. Its a great day out, I highly recommend visiting. I am also adding more listings to my Etsy shop, so if you decide to buy later ;) #stalls #newcastle #tyneandwear #tynemouth #maker #handmade #h

I have just finished at the Northern Craft fair event located at The Baltic, Gateshead. It was SO fun and a great experience, I highly recommend applying any craft makers for next year. I loved it. It was a success. I have met other passionate makers and creators, whom I hope to see again soon. The event was made up of various amount of styles and makers, and proved to be popular, as each day (sat and sun) were very busy. Many people took my business card, so much so I ran ou

The next fair I will be holding a stand at will be at the Northern Craft Fair in Gateshead at BALTIC Centre For Contemporary Art. This is the first time the Northern Craft Fair will be coming this far north, and it is a great opportunity to see and immerse yourself in handmade craft. The event will be on the 5th-6th October. #BALTICCentreForContemporaryArt #baltic #gateshead #newcsatle #craft #craftfair #event #creativebusiness #creativeblogger #ceramics #ceramicsblgoger #cer

Having a stand at the British Craft Trade Fair was an amazing experience. A chance to meet fellow makers, buyers, and stockists, its a great feeling being surrounded by like-minded people who have a passion for their craft and the arts. As I was located in the Newcomers section, I was surrounded by others who have little or no experience at trade fairs, yet they too were determined to make their passion into a business. Having a stand and decorating it in a way to stand out w

After Christmas, although it has been quiet with stalls.. I have been accepted to hold a stand at the BCTF (British Craft Trade Fair) in Harrogate. This is a chance for me to show my collection and gain stockists. This will be a first for me and my business and a very exciting step progression. So recently I have been researching and gathering inspiration for future designs which would be desirable. I will continue to blog about this process up to the event itself. As well a

I have another stall coming up this time it is at Tynemouth Market on Saturday 15th December from 9-3. This is a great time to buy christmas gifts! I will be selling handmade ceramics from small cactus pots (including a cactus ;) ) to mugs and dinner sets. #WhitleyBay #whitleybay #tynemouth #maker #made #market #christmas #christmasgifts #christmasgift #artistemerging #art #artist #ceramicmaker #ceramics #ceramic #sunderland #northeast #newcastle #newcastleupontyne #merrychri

Through a mutual friend I have managed to bag myself a kiln, with a price tag I cannot complain about. It will be wired in very soon, so I can make my own work once again in the near future. I cannot wait! I really believe I am having ceramic withdrawal symptoms. I have been drawing and sketching ideas in my sketch book so I have a good ideas where my focus will be. I am SO excited! #ceramic #ceramics #ceramicblogger #clayblogger #blog #blogs #creativeblogger #create #creativ
