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!

Warm your self with the glow of beautifully crafted gifts and shop til you drop in a cozy gallery. This is the perfect event to find all you need for a hand made Christmas and it's all under one roof...so no traipsing around in the snow looking for presents....OH NO!
We can help and you can help us too by buying local hand made,hand sourced, non mass produced, guilt free gifts!
Ho ho hope to see you soon.

Win a SOLO show in the William Morris Gallery!

Personally I love William Morris,his work and philosophy are something which I revisit constantly.
Both his attitude and ethos towards art and craft were a major factor in forming the cornerstone beliefs of Craft Guerrilla. Like him we push the message of "craft for the masses"!
In a way it's thanks to this great luminary that groups like us exist. Without the likes of Morris we wouldn't hold such an important place in local identity and community. So when we heard the gallery was opening up their space to artists and crafts people we thought we'd share it with you. This is a great opportunity not just to exhibit but also to get yourself and your work noticed. Who knows where it will take you?
Please click on the image above for further details including deadline.
Happy making and good luck!

oh you lucky people...designer number three!

OK, I might be a little bit bias as I absolutely love
Moxie Beauty products.
I'm not sure how many Moxie perfumes I have now but I've lost count!They are all so yummy and special that I must have them all! *CUE evil laugh* AND now she's made solid perfumes in keep sake boxes...OH the temptation!
Hand blended using the finest ingredients this hand made company has been our top seller at the Craft Guerrilla summer markets. Cassie is an alchemist/dark fairy and has a rare talent! I'm so happy she'll be at the William Morris gallery...well I know it'll mean that I'll have to buy another scent which isn't a bad thing! Hmmmm...I'm sure she uses a cauldron to mix her perfumes!

oh you lucky people...designer number two!

I love Edwyn UK! beautiful doggy inspired home wares made by Louise Brooker.
Not just a dog owner (Edwyn,I'm dying to meet you!) but also a talented designer maker based in sunny East London.
A huge hit at the Craft Guerrilla summer markets the return of Edwyn UK to our Chrimbo Market is very much an exciting one! Door stops, draft excluders,hand embroidered cushions,totes etc...All of it is so cute without being sickly!!!
I usually struggle finding gifts for my dear old pop but I got him a cute key fob for his birthday and as a genuine dog aficionado he was very pleased.
Come and meet Louise and see her beautiful hand crafted soft furnishings at the William Morris Gallery on the 6th of December!

OH you lucky people...

Here's a sneaky peek at what we have in store for you! Delectable, affordable and OH SO original contemporary craft direct from the designer makers. Where? William Morris Gallery When? 6th of December...at the Craft Guerrilla Christmas Market of course!
Our first Designer maker in the spot light is... NADIA SPARHAM
Walthamstow based ceramicist extraordinaire! Soft furnishings and prints are a lovely extra to this talented ladies offerings.

Christmas Craft market at the William Morris Gallery!

It seems to be quite fitting that we are hosting our Christmas Market in the home of the father of the Arts & Crafts movement! Situated on Forest Road the gallery is home to some stunning art work and we're very happy to be able to set up our event amongst the works of this fine British artist!

Come spend the day browsing through contemporary craft in these beautiful surroundings. Find extraordinary one off designer gifts, view one of the richest collections of Art & Craft in the country, try your luck at the Tombola and buy something you won't find on the High Street!
It's the perfect way to dazzle your friends and family with great,high quality, original Chrimbo presents bought directly from the designer makers! I'm sure Mr. Morris would be quite proud and most likely would have his own stall presenting designer items to the masses!!!

Also to be confirmed: Local Choir to perform a few seasonal tunes to get you in the festive spirit!
