Craft Fairs

2017 has been very quiet on the craft fair front. I've done a few but hardly sold anything so am going to go further afield or attend ones I haven't done before next year.

I have sold a few of my new brooches online and they are small and easy to post as well as being enjoyable to do. I dry felt the background then hand embroider flowers onto them.




I have also been thinking about our exhibition next June at the Williamson in Liverpool which will be on us in no time and will be posing some ideas.

Textile 21 at Ordsall Hall

Textile 21 are holding an exhibition at Ordsall Hall which is inspired by the hall itself and runs until early February.

I decided to base my pieces on rusty fabric as the hall fell into disrepair before being restored. I had difficulty feeling inspired by the hall which is unusual and had to do lots of experiments before I finally decided and wasn't that pleased with the result.




Pictures of other members work can be seen on the Textile 21 page on Facebook.
