Hello, hope you’ve had lovely week.
I’m feeling a little chatty and thought I’d share a bit more about the new summer festival that I’m hosting in collab with The Mowbray and Victoria in Sheffield on Sunday 7 June.
Applications to table with us at either the artisan market or print fair are open for a little longer with all the info over on our website to apply.
Alongside the images of Victoria I’ve shared some photo’s from the market we host in Edinburgh taken by
@wilfotograf to give you a sense of the style of the curation , these are from the fruitmarket which has a really similar feel to the new venue’s and about the same size (if you’ve joined us there)
This event was not on my 2026 bucket list, but you know when something so good appears, like the stars have aligned and you can’t quite believe it, I have always dreamt about hosting at the Mowbray, I’ve held a drawing workshop here with
@bloomsheffield , seen a gorgeous
@theingood talk and been to there exceptional festive events and when they reached out to me to host with them my heart skipped a beat, the space is so beautiful, so thoughtfully restored, so perfect for a market. Something that I’ve always wanted for endless is to have the capacity to have outdoor space, room to hang out, enjoy company, drink cocktails, eat gorgeous seasonal food all within the experience, summer is different and creating a destination like this where you can spend the day amongst art and friends feels unreal.
In the curation i’d love to to feature thoughtfully handmade goods, small batch, originals and limited runs, like botanicals, ceramics, clothing, knitwear, jewellery, textiles, woodwork with an artisan and design feel, think

The print fair will combine, illustrators who create playful stationary, through to story book illustrators, live drawing, small press, huge originals, woodblock to riso.
There is also space for workshops and would love anything that is craft centred, from collage to textiles, leaving with a new skill and feeling inspired.
