This weekend - the 21st and 22nd of November is the busiest online weekend so far this year. As events have changed to being online some organisers have been working hard to make sure that we still have some sort of experience of getting together, looking at wonderful art and design work, and getting our Christmas shopping done with local makers and crafts people. I for one love the feedback I get from customers,
Last year I tried to imagine all the people opening up boxes with my jewellery in, it gives you a real buzz to know somebody is chosen a piece of your work. Online events do go some way to replace this and it’s lovely to have feedback and comments through Instagram, Facebook or my Etsy shop. . I’ve been busy taking photographs preparing little videos, ready sharing on my social media posts.
The LCB depot, in Leicester has a website with the makers who would’ve been exhibiting with them this year, here is the link for that http://www.lcbdepot.co.uk/event/art-makers-online-shopping
Also the Leicestershire Etsy team have selected 28 makers and artists and produced a “splash look book” featuring everyone who is taking part, well worth a look. https://leicestershireetsy.splashthat.com/?fbclid=IwAR0hH8Fqgb7r2XsLjtpfRU9-VxWtFhe0kBCdUG3IIafiP6KB_9w1hxkybSw
Fargo village in Coventry was one of my favourite places to go to last year, I love the arty buzz Music and the chatter. They also have an online winter market this weekend – here is the link for that. https://www.fargovillage.co.uk/events/winter-mini-market
