Xmas Craft Emporium photos...

We managed to raise over £600 for the William Morris Gallery and had over 1,500 visitors to our event through out the two days! Thank you to all the lovely shoppers,designer makers and all that helped on the day. It was a truly magical weekend!!!

Countdown to Craft Guerrilla Christmas Craft EMPORIUM

It's official...we're excited about Christmas!!! Well, about the Christmas Craft Emporium to be exact!
It's only 16 days to go before the hand made gorgeousness begins!
This year we have a whole bunch of new guys and gals as well as some of the faves from last year. From children's clothing & apparel,jewellery,illustration, prints,paper goods,soft furnishings to beautiful hand made leather bags and shoes. It seems quite apt having such quality craft in the home of the man that started it all...I think William Morris would be proud!

Please note that there are quite a few events happening in the area and that some have named their event quite cheekily to sound like ours but I can tell you that they aren't associated with Craft Guerrilla. Whether or not it was on purpose...we'll never know but we wish them luck though why people can't come up with their own ideas is beyond us. Anyway...

not long to go now...

We're so excited!!! The Christmas Craft Guerrilla takes place this coming Sunday the 6th of December at the William Morris Gallery in lovely Walthamstow. It's the childhood home of the great man,the father of the arts & crafts movement and we're super thrilled to be there. I think he'd be tickled pink to see so much quality contemporary craft in his little home!
We're hoping to be beating off the craft loving public with knitted sticks! Come show your support buy buying hand made. BUT if you ain't in the shopping mood...do not worry,grab a seat and make your own at the craft corner.Still wanting more? Come try your luck at the tombola! Win a hand made prize and help the gallery as proceeds go straight to the WMG.
Also to be confirmed...we're hoping to have a local choir joining us for a little bit of seasonal singing. We're still waiting to hear but if they are joining us they'll be there at 2pm.
SO...what are you doing on SUNDAY?

oh you lucky people...designer number six!

Not long to go now my craft loving friends. We've been showcasing a selection of the designer makers we've hand picked to participate in the Christmas Craft Guerrilla. Set in the William Morris Gallery the father of the Arts and Crafts movement would be tickled in seeing this explosion of quality contemporary craft in his child hood home!
So we'd like to introduce:
Mary Kilvert, a freelance illustrator. She's the talented lady that made our beautiful Craftea Poster for the Art Trail.
Her illustrations are a little slice of her imagination, her love of nature and fondness of patterns.
From paper goods,illustrations to badges and pocket mirrors we know you won't be able to resist. I know I'll be buying a few!
