Going to different places, meeting fellow craftspeople, talking about my work with customers, seeing other art and craftwork….this is why I love doing Craft Fairs! Yes it’s hard work and you never know quite what to expect, but I do get quite a buzz from being out there with my jewellery on display for all to see. A makers life can be quite isolating so its the perfect opportunity to meet people and get feedback on your latest pieces. I’ve met some fabulous artists and designers, and of course the biggest compliment is when someone buys a piece for themselves or someone they know!
Highlights for me in 2019 must be Attenborough Arts, The Makers Market under the railway arches in Leicester, and Fargo Village in Coventry. I’m already looking forward to whats to come in 2020!
