Hi, guys!
So it's been a while. I'm attempting to make this blog regular again.
This autumn/winter, I took part in two art markets that were in the beautiful Leeds Corn Exchange.
I hadn't done art market stalls in a long while and I remembered why I love it so much- the atmosphere, the buzz when you make a sale, speaking with fellow stallholders, sharing tips and advice.. I always finish an art market feeling very inspired.
I did two weekends- one run by UniqueGiftFairs on the 15&16 November, and the massive Showcase Spectacular, run by the JuJu Agency on the 22&23 November.
Unique Gift Fairs:
I did this fair with my friend Sapphia, who does beautiful oil pastel drawings/prints. There were many beautiful stalls at this small, but great event.
Myself with my share of the table.
My cushions and greetings cards.

Showcase Spectacular:
This was the first art market where I've done a stall all by myself. It was very daunting, pretty nerve-wracking, but so worth it. Luckily I had a table next to Nicola Hanrahan who I've met at a similar art market before, and a couple more of my friends were involved in the event, so I was glad to have familiar faces with me!
This event was brilliant. There was art stalls, exhibitions, performance art, live music, and even a visit from a lovely owl. I sold out of almost all of my cushions, and my woodland prints went down a treat! I was also able to bring my latest product to this table- my geometric screen-printed tea towels.

The fairs were so much fun, and I intend to do a lot more from the next year. I have many ideas of new things I want to try, and new products I want to make! All the latest will be updated right here.
