HAND MADE AT HAWORTH UPDATE

The sun is shining, the daffodils are smiling and we are out enjoying the weather (when we are supposed to be working).  Really we are on the streets distributing leaflets about our Handmade at Haworth event on Saturday 30 April 2011 at the Bronte School Rooms, Church Street Haworth.

Here is some more information about the event for visitors.
We have lots of tables of handmade loveliness including:  Wicked Gen Crafts (fused glass) Bradford College Enterprise (mixed crafts) Kath Williamson (photography) Wychbury (textile jewellery) My Furoshiki (Japanese gift wrapping) Milliesuds (soaps and natural bath products) Lilac Moon (handmade jewellery) Debbie Alstead (photography) Smashing China Mosaics and more....
We will have a "hand made" tombola where you will have a chance of winning a beautiful hand made gift such as glass, ceramics, silk scarves, prints and patchwork pincushions.

Jewellery Showcase

We have a fantastic range of jewellers who show at our arts markets and handmade events - ranging from the sophisticated to the quirky, the shiny to the subtle.  Jewellery makes such a lovely gift to receive and buying it from an artisan gives it added meaning - that you chose it yourself, that it wasn't made in China and that the designer put their individual style to that piece.
As Mae West is reputed to have said "I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself."

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

Milliesuds Handcrafted Soaps doesn't just sell soap and their repertoire also includes lip balm, bath melts, shaving oil and bath sherbet. You can almost smell the products here - just don't eat them!

Come and take a sniff at Milliesuds at our Handmade at Haworth event on 30 April

Happy New Year to all. Let's hope it is a prosperous New Year for all designer-makers.
We are looking forward to a hand made 2011 as we continue with our Arts Markets at Riddings Hall in Ilkley. We have added a new venue this year and have two new dates.
"Hand Made at Haworth" will be a smaller event at The Old School Room, Church Street, Haworth, where Charlotte Bronte taught. This venue is opposite the Bronte Parsonage and is on a cobbled lane leading to the Main street. It has a pay and display car park to the rear and is on one level.

The hall is quaintly old fashioned with wooden floors, a beamed ceiling and arched windows.  We are marketing this event to reflect the historical aspect of Haworth and if you want a virutal tour of the hall please visit Haworth-Village. 

So, our publicity may look a bit different but there will still be a great selection of designer-makers at "Hand Made at Haworth" including jewellery, ceramics, textiles, photography, art and gifts. We have many of our favourite traders and some new ones too.

There is still some availability at our 2011 events and "Hand Made at Haworth" will be on Saturday 30 April 2011 and Saturday 15 October 2011.

Our Arts Markets at Riddings Hall will be as follows:

Saturday 28 May, Saturday 22 October and Saturday 3 December 2011.
