Craft fairs are back! That's right after many years I am back out on the craft fair circuit selling my wares. I've bought myself a lovely new red gazebo, some personalised bunting and lots of cool accessories to make my stall as enticing as possible. I think you'll agree it looks pretty good! My first craft fair of the year was Wrexham's Artisan Market on 30th March. It was a really good day - the sun shone, it was actually warm and best of all it was busy all day! I must commend the organisers for putting on a really good event and also thank everyone who bought something from my stall (especially all of my very supportive family who are my best customers!). |
Hopefully someone will love them as much as I do and buy them!
The RCA Gallery is in Conwy so I picked two paintings that showcase two of my favourite places in Wales; Castell Dinas Bran and the North Wales coast.
The exhibition is still on until the end of February so if you happen to be in the area do go check it out!
I have two paintings for sale in the new exhibition - 'Hello!' and 'Weather Coming In'. It's the first time I've put in large pieces so we'll see how they do. Since I started exhibiting at The Drawing Board I think I've sold four pieces but they have all been small illustrations, so I'm excited to see if anyone is willing to pay a bit more for my paintings.
I met a few of the other exhibiting artists there today and a few of them said 'Weather Coming In' was one of their favourite pieces which was so nice to hear! 'Hello!' got a much more muted response which was a shame but I still love it and I'm sure someone else will to!
Brew Corner is a new cafe and craft shop that sells art and craft made by local artists. There are some really lovely craft items and also some very yummy brownies! It is run by a lovely lady called Jayde and is well worth a visit if you're ever in the Wrexham area.
Haven Cafe also has the best apple pie you will ever eat!
You can find them on Madoc Street in Llandudno, North Wales.
