Although there were just a few of us, due to some last minute cancellations by stallholders, we had a whale of a time on Saturday!
It was fairly quiet at the Custard Factory, but the visitors who did stop by were genuinely interested in the range of different handmade items on offer. I think it was one of the most successful days for sales!! Well done everyone!
(Cupcake sales were doing well too ;)
With us today were:
Newbie Jeanette Hill from Jin joined us with her amazing display of handmade individual gifts from ceramics, fabric or knitted wool. A personal favourite were her little knitted houses and a church which, if bought together, made up a little village.
Sarah from Magpie Jewellery joined us for yet another crazy Handmade Saturday! Which paid off, as she had some good sales today. She also brought along some little children’s bracelet demonstrations with her, so children were able to put their own jewellery together whilst parents were busy shopping at Creative Open Workshops.
See her work on www.magpiejewels.webs.com
And Emma Blundell and Emma Thompson set up another beautiful & colourful stall with new additions such as appliqué and embroidered shopping bags. New website coming soon!
Another new addition was our FREE mini drop-in workshop which we set up in the shop. People were able to join in to a 10 minute session and learn how to make a felted pebble to take home with them. People really enjoyed taking part and felt very proud of their own handmade items at the end of the activity.
Pass it on! We’ll be running this FREE drop-in session again next Saturday!
This week we are working on getting the word out to more people about our Handmade Saturdays at Creative Open Workshops.
