craft fair

Keiron, Jane and I (Mary) had a wonderful time yesterday at the Craft and contemporary art fair at the Bluecoat. We had a table selling handmade Christmas cards, books, and screen printed bags, and original prints. The weather held out most of the day, just very cold really, and the place was buzzing with people. 

We'll be there again next Saturday, so please stop by! The fair is open from  11-5.

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd share this artist's work with you becuase I am so inspired by him His name is Rob Ryan and his screen prints and paper cut outs are unbelievable.

Hope everyone is well and hopefully we'll be in the studio soon! I think it's my turn to pay, so I'll book the room, perhaps for the 3rd?

Cheerio,

Mary
