✅SMP X BRIC-A-BRAC ✅
Well...what can we say?! The sun was shining on the whole of Manchester on Sunday, but it felt particularly bright in a small, idyllic corner of Withington 🌞
It makes us so happy that the second edition of the Bric-a-Brac Art Market was such a success! It was a day that showcased a plethora of amazing creations and it was so lovely to witness such genuine creative connections being formed 🌱
SMP was the perfect venue and we're so grateful to Theo & the team for serving up delicious cakes, bakes, sarnies, and coffee all day, and for being all round heroes 🫶
And of course, thank you so much to all 7 of the supremely talented makers, who filled the room with their wonderful artwork and lovingly crafted goods as well as such an infectious energy throughout the day - We couldn't have done it without yous! 🤝
Lastly, mahooooosive FANKS to every single one of you who popped by to browse, hangout, chat, and connect with us all. It was such a great example of the true community spirit you can find across Manchester and really reminded us of all the talented people who live here💡
Here at Bric-A-Brac we've got a few things bubbling with regards to future events, products, and markets, so please keep your eyes peeled for announcements.
Until then, I'd like to say ✨THANK YOU✨ once again to everyone involved in this project. It continues to excite me and I can't wait to see what it brings next ✌️

At the market, I’ll be selling a selection of printed goods including Riso prints, clothing, books, and stickers. Come by, have a browse, and say hello!'
