There is so much going on at the moment that I thought this blog post should be a bit of shameless self promotion for all of us, because lets face it we’re all working our socks off this week in the run up to what looks like being a fantastic weekend.
Now before I begin, we can only boast about what we know about so if you’re up to something else you think is just as relevant please post a comment so we all can share the glow of our collective Yorkshire pride!
So in no particular order lets begin
I’ve been reading some of the blogposts and following the panic filled tweets of some of the makers at this event and the enthusiasm and excitement generated is infectious! Its in its fifth year and is a real celebration of Yorkshire Craft on from Saturday through till Monday, if you can get there do!
I would, but I shall at The White Arrow Music festival,
Now truth be told I’ve always been a bit more “Wock-a-chicka” than Rock chick, but none the less I shall be here with...
Sally, Laura , Voodoo George and Jemma on Saturday in a giant Yorksire Made Craft Marquee...(well a couple of gazebos strapped together , fighting the elements but looking fabulous!)
Then after our massive rock out on Saturday Our Little Craft Company shall be relaxing in the sunshine with a more sedate set at The Cannon hall Craft Fair Sunday & Monday 10 till 4
But enough about us, if you can't get to these theres more
In Leeds, Reetsweet is at Nation of Shopkeepers
Beer, Music & craft stalls, does it get any better?
Also if you're around the Leeds area theres a
Gift Craft and Farmers market at Temple newsham, where you could treat yourself to something like this
made by the brilliant John Micheal, who, if you miss him there will be at the Wentworth Festival Craft fair ...Not that you really need an excuse to visit this beautiful little village cos its got some proper pubs in it, but add a splash of the arts and crafts and it is very hard to resist. For more details of whats on there
And thats not all, if you're in York be sure to pop in to this
for all your vintage, kitsch and handmade needs!
And if that wasn't enough to keep you busy, rumour has it some of the Pennine Artists and friends are camping out at the beautiful Stainborough Castle & Made by Lolly will be there too!
Not bad for one weekend in Yorkshire really and I know theres probably a tonne of otherstuff going on, it really is one of those weekends when I wish I was still Dr Who's assistant and then I could be at them all but since alas I can't be in two places at once can I ask any and all of you who visit any or all of these events to post some pics on the Yorkshire Made facebook wall, it would be great to see what we missed!
Enjoy
