Forage Christmas Markets!

Still seems too early to be banging on about xmas, but we will anyway:) We'll be at several markets in the Calder Valley on the run up. So far we've had a fantastic reception to a new range of prints, where we've also been assisted by our fabulous intern Mary (an art & design student at Huddersfield University) in the studio and the stalls. Our last dates in November & December are:

30th - Hebden (Holme St Arts Center)

December

--------------

14th - Bacup Victorian Xmas Market

21st - Hebden (Holme St Arts Center)

22nd - Hebden (Holme St Arts Center)

Keep an eye on the online shop for a new original work in the coming weeks, or try to visit us on the stall. Feel free to bring us mince pies, mulled wine and presents - it is christmas after all.

Art Market

We were fortunate to have a break from the recent lousy weather yesterday, so took the opportunity to drop into the The Art Market in nearby Holmfirth. Some really interesting and varied works on display, across two floors in a bright and airy space. We always try to pick up a couple of new items, and we really liked the work off Emily Stubbs, particularly her ceramic bowls -

Nice, heavy and solid with a ragged/ripped finish and clever use of surface pattern design - now happily in residence in the kitchen:)

The GPS decided to take us the the long route back, getting us slightly lost in the hills in the process - which isn't always the worst thing!
