Really pleased to part of the first Ramsbottom festival this coming weekend(16th, 17th, 18th Sept 2011).

Myself and other crafters and artists will be running a craft market on Sunday from 12 until 6 with a wide range of handmade, boutique lovelies available for you to buy. We will also be running a series of craft workshops throughout the day to entertain the kids, and for adults to explore their artistic side by making anything from a festival hat to a flag to an insect bird feeder (and much more). We can’t let the kids have all the fun after all

 

Myself and Mrs Minta (collectively B&B Crafts) will be selling a range of handmade notebooks, cards and t-shirts (see below) and running a workshop where you can make a small flag or some bunting

 

One of my favourite Manchester Craft Centre (http://www.craftanddesign.com/ )  stars, Miss Nell Smith with be bringing a range of her highly sought after wares and running a “funky glasses/superhero mask” workshop so you can look your best in the (fingers crossed) blinding sunshine or hide behind a secret identity.
