Quernus at Handmade @ Haworth!

Mice with Meaning

Guess who will be at Handmade @ Haworth on 15 October, selling her wonderful Fimo creations? That's right - Quernus Crafts! 

There will be plenty of cute and whimsical animals, from mice to cats, ponies to highland coos. Kirsten also takes commissions so why not have a cute model of your favourite pet or a character mouse?

Kirsten's creatures are very popular with both children and parents and very collectible too (you should see her version of the Beatles from the Sargeant Pepper era).  For a taste of Quernus Crafts' creative creatures pop into her Folksy shop for a preview of just some of the delights at Handmade @ Haworth.

CakeWalk Ilkley

Cakewalk is a friendly shop run by artist Emma Straw in the beautiful spa town of Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

Cakewalk sells vintage items alongside art and handmade work, most of which is made locally, but also includes collections by national designer-makers.

Lovely Emma often calls into our Handmade events to find out what's hot in the world of designer-makers. Here are just some of the makers who have taken tables at Handmade @ Ilkley and now sell their work through Cakewalk.
