I wanted to focus on the local today. Over the past week I realised there were a number or really fantastic crafty events going on that I didn’t want to not mention them.
Firstly a friend pointed out that the Manchester Science Festival was holding a really great event – Knit a Galaxy – I think this will be great fun and I might take Little B along to see what he thinks about it. Looking at the programme there appears to be lots of crafty events, and I just love the tie between art and science. So if this intrigues you or your little ones, please do have a look at the website.
Next up the utterly awesome Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair, put this in your diary… the most wonderful opportunity to get inspired, buy original work and chat the really talented makers. The fair runs in the very trendy Spinningfields area from 20 – 23 October 2011
My lovely friend Katie K is a wonderful vintage fashion connoisseur and she is orgainsing a Vintage fashion and Craft Fair, I am valiently trying to work on a few trinkets to sell. But if you are in the area it is worth popping in to browse stalls, try on outfits and meet with friends over a cup of tea, slice of cake and a chin-wag. The fair takes place at Emmanuel Hall, behind Didsbury Library on Barlow Moor Road, Didsbury Village on Saturday 29 October from 10 am – 4 pm. Entrance is £2 per person and children under 12 go free. Excellent Fun.
I really want to get to one of the knit events and help create a galaxy – and the vintage fair looks fab – I may have to try and swap my work day so I can come along.
