Christmas Fair Designers. Lets take a sneaky peek....

I so wish I had a furry little mutt to lavish with gifts this Christmas but unfortunately my two cats wouldn't appreciate the edition to the house hold so for now...I'm content with buying gifts for my family and friends who are lucky enough to have a pooch!

Cute hand printed key chain!

Edwyn UK is lovely pet oriented hand made company but it's not all for fashionable doggies or cute little kittens as Louise Brooker makes gorgeous home wares too! Sturdy, handsome and pet proof so in my book that's pretty good!!!

Dog shield cushion...what a great idea for a family crest!

Dog bone cushion...super cute!

So if you know any pet lovers who pine for a little furry friend then maybe this could be a perfect gift! Not every land lord welcomes animals so maybe a beautiful doggy inspired cushion could help fill that pet shaped void...

Dog collar neckerchief! Handsome and cool for any stylish dog about town!

Drought excluder...very useful for draft UK homes!

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!!!

Thank you all for making it another successful event!!!

A big warm thank you to all the lovely shopper...over 1,500 visitors over the two days...that made their way to the Weekend Christmas Craft Emporium!
We're honoured that so many of you chose to come along and shop in the home of the father of the Arts & Craft movement.

Also a big thank you to all the gorgeous designer makers that chose to come to us to showcase and sell their wares. So many beautiful, quality items...truly, this year it's been the best so far!!!

Hand made shopping is so much more then "affordable" or "unusual" items...we want to redefine the value of HAND MADE. It really doesn't make sense that a HAND MADE item is sold cheaper then a mass produced one! It's a premium product, well priced and worth it's money...and most of all it's made with integrity, love and without exploitation!

This year we were sponsored by CraftNation.com. If you haven't heard of them yet... you will! Check them out because if you love hand made shopping they are starting a new way of e commerce and production!


Craft Guerrilla managed to donate a staggering £600 plus to the gallery and that was because of all you lovely people!

Designer, shoppers, young makers and gallery visitors...Thank you for your support,we HEART you!

PS
Pictures will be added as soon as possible!

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...

The C word...

I know, it's way too early to use the C word but Christmas is getting closer so we really must!!!
Lots of you have been asking about our Weekend Craft Emporium. Dates were announced a few months ago but you lovely crafty peeps are truly gearing up for the festive season so it's too cruel to keep you in suspense! Here is some information which you might find useful...

Date: Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of December.
Time: 11 am to 4 pm (tbc)
Venue: William Morris Gallery Forest Road Walthamstow London E17
Booking details: All new designers must contact us via email with a few images and a brief description of their work. Subject to meeting our criteria you will then be added to our designer maker mailing list. Come the end of October,when bookings open,you will then receive a booking email which is done on a "first come first serve basis". Please do not ask for any special favours- we will not save you a space- as we're trying to make it as fair as possible!
Returning designer do not need to pre apply as you are already on our designer maker list!
Fees,stall allocation,etc.
Fees - are a non refundable £20 per stall to be paid by cheque and should reach us as soon as you've booked. The only way to guaranty your space is to pay for it. You have a 5 working day deadline form the day you've booked and received your confirmation email for payment to reach us otherwise it will be offered to another.
Stalls - it's a BYO table event hence the price. Tables should be no bigger then a pasting table.
Stall allocation - will be done by us so to showcase your work as best as we can! We won't be coming around setting up for you, that would be silly, but we'll place you next to other types of craft...for example if you're a jeweller you really wouldn't want to be next to 3 other jewellers would you? You'll receive a floor plan before the event so you know where you'll be but we'll be there on the day to guide you should you have any doubts.

That's it really!
Any further questions please e mail Debbie: craftguerrilla@yahoo.com

oh you lucky people...designer number five!

Fancy & Fondant are deliciously decadent hand made prints by Chloe Langlois and David Newton. Beautiful screen printed cards and prints by this humorous and handsome duo.
These lovelies are new to Craft Guerrilla. We hope you like all the talented new designers we've hand picked to exhibit at the Chrimbo Market. These lovely people are a great example of the talent we've got in store for you on the 6th!
