Blog re: Arts & Crafts for Summer, Lincoln Cathedral Centre, 10 July 2011

Last Sunday, I exhibited at Arts & Crafts for Summer along with around 28 other designer/makers.  There was a wonderful selection of work for sale and a wide range of disciplines.  Particular favourites of mine were the crisp, monochromatic lino cut prints by Wayne Lockwood and the beautifully made, charming textiles by Jane Lightfoot. The Fair, which was held in the Lincoln Cathedral Centre, immediately adjacent to the Cathedral, attracted a steady stream of visitors.  The venue was beautiful, my stall was based in a wonderful bay window with a magnificent view of the Cathedral.  Craft fairs are wonderful places not only to sell your wares, but to meet new like minded people and get feedback on your products and find out what your best selling lines are.

I was selling my BOOGE64 range of textiles & accessories.  (See below for a selection)

1940's INSPIRED BROOCH

The above brooch features the mot gorgeous 1940's bakelite button!  You can purchase this style and similar others in my Folksy shop.

SEAHORSE CLUTCH BAG

This Seahorse Clutch bag is bright & bold and not for the faint hearted!  Made up from my own design, digitally printed, heavy duty cotton.  Vibrant, quirky and most of all, fun!  Again, available on Folksy 

I am working on a new range or products in earnest next week.  I love the research and development stage.  So, I'm looking forward to much playing, manipulating and experimentation, evaluating as I go! Wish me luck.  You can follow my progress on Twitter or read my regular updates on my Facebook page.
