Handmade Halloween

The October fair at Handmade at Ilkley has a hallowe'en theme as we will be giving away black and orange balloons to any child who crosses our path (and adults too). 

We have a great selection of artists and makers with lots of new people joining some of our favourites. Who's who?

Textile jewellers Wychbury and Daisy Florence Design will be joining us, along with textile artist Diane Jones and surface designer Nimanoma. Swirly Arts and Roger's Ink are representing paper with Sid Barlow and Wicked Gen bringing the glass. Classic jewellery comes courtesy of Olinda Jewellery and Petit Bijoux.

We have lots of new traders too: personalised signs from Fairy Angel Cake, soft toys from Molly and Mum, hand printed items from Mint Print, bespoke pens from Bespoke Pens (!) and so much more.

Have I forgotten anyone.....? Ooh yes - our fabulous tearoom courtesy of Trufood Catering! They will be brining our visitors winter warmers with tasty soup, filling sandwiches and delicious cakes and scones. Their fayre never fails to please.

Come and see us this Saturday at Riddings Hall, Riddings Road, The Grove, Ilkley 10am to 4pm ENTRANCE FREE (look for the big church). See you there.

What's New at the Arts Markets?

We are now taking bookings for our Arts Markets at Ilkley and Handmade at Haworth events in 2011.  Every one of our traders is selling quality handmade, from textiles to ceramics. 
As well as our regulars, we will be showcasing new traders. Here are two of our latest and we are excited to see their wares for the first time. 

Sid Barlow of House Glass makes windchimes and mobiles, mostly using recycled materials. He also makes fantastic stained glass windows so check out his website! 

 

Come and see Sid at our Ilkley Arts Market on 22 October
