The Handmade Show, The Makers Market and The Loft

With three more events to attend this month, I have been crazy busy keeping up with my making as well as online orders.

I really enjoyed myself at Aberfeldy and I'm very much looking forward to these three events over the next three weekends.

The Handmade Show is this Sunday, the 15th November at Perth Concert Hall.

This is a free event and a chance to meet artists and makers from all over the country.

10.30 - 4.30 pm

I will then be at The Makers Market at St Andrews Town Hall on Saturday 21st November.

The Town Hall is in the centre of St Andrews on Queen's Gardens. It's a beautiful venue in a beautiful town. Well worth the visit.

11 - 4 pm. Also free entry.

and at the end of the month on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th November, I will be at 

The Loft at Ardross farm Shop

Elie, KY9 1EU

Saturday 9 - 5 pm, Sunday 9 - 4 pm

I have a few new makes for these events as well as a good supply of my usual work.

New this week are these Felt Boxes with Wooden Butterfly Button lids.

£28

I made a couple of Seascape Boxes as well.

This is my favourite with real shells decorating the lid.

£45

I really enjoyed making the felt for these boxes. Rich in silk fibres in deep sea greens and blues with streaks of purple. The designs are hand stamped onto the lids.

I'll have lots of my textile and resin jewellery with me at the above events. There is a competition run by 'Small City Big Personality' to win this set along with two other gifts from other makers attending The Handmade Show in Perth. Click here to enter.

I'll have lots of new cushions with me including this Dragonfly design below.

I'll be adding lots more to my Etsy shop in Monday 16th November. If you are too far away to attend any of the events but are interested in my work, please feel free to contact me at aileenclarkecrafts@yahoo.com

I also have a range of framed felt art and jewellery as The Atholl Gallery in Dunkeld.

Some of my framed work is also available at the West Street Arts Centre in Penicuik until December 4th.

The best way to keep up with what's new from me is on my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog

Events and Exhibitions

I had a very enjoyable day at Falkland Craft Market on Saturday. This was the last fair at Falkland for me this year but the good news is that the markets will run again next year with lots of opportunities to meet local artists and makers.

My next event is this Saturday the 24th October at Pitcairngreen Village Hall. I have been taking part in this event for over 10 years and it's always lovely to attend. There is a small entrance fee which goes toward the upkeep of the hall and includes tea, coffee and home baking. 

The fair runs from 10.30 - 3.30 pm and you can find the village on Google maps here

My next event after that is The Handmade Show at Perth Concert Hall on Sunday 15th November. This is another of my favourite days of the year. Dozens of fabulous makers from all over Scotland. 

10.30 - 4.30 pm

Free entry.

I have a limited amount of small framed pieces with me at my events as most of my work is on display at The Atholl Gallery in Dunkeld.

I also have work going into an exhibition at Penicuik Arts Centre that starts on 2nd November. The exhibition runs until the 5th December and will include these new pieces.

Looking forward to seeing some of you along the way.
