Being a newbie small business owner/maker, it's a real challenge to find the best ways to get my products to the right people. I don't have a shop, and so much of the past three years has been a bit of trial and error, and not always getting it right. One of the best things for me is through artisan markets and craft fairs. Being able to see and touch my products - and chat to me about the process or how you're ideas could come to life - makes such a difference.
Now you can always check to see where I'll be on my website! This does change regularly...

I'm also excited as, coming up, is one of the best events I do: The Craft In Focus Contemporary Craft Fair at Hever Castle. It's ONLY makers that are able to exhibit (so no competition from people buying in products from overseas and selling at ridiculous prices...), showcasing around 180 craftmakers and artists from across the UK. The event is being held 12th - 15th September and tickets are on sale now. With the code CRAFT2024 you will get a discount of £8, up until 6th September.
I'll be on stand C16 with a huge selection of serving boards, chopping boards, stocking fillers, coasters and candle holders. I'll also be offering onsite personalisation and taking commissions.
For those of you in London, and looking for something to do this bank holiday, I'll be in Richmond this Sunday at the Duck Pond artisan market, held at Heron Square. It's a really lovely collection of handmade street food, as well as clothing, art, jewelery and much more.
Hopefully see you in real life soon!
