Artisan Markets

I found there were so many talented local artisans coming into the shop looking for a place to exhibit their wares, and was unable to help so many of them due to lack of space in the shop, that we decided the next best thing was to host an Artisan Market in Swan Yard.

The first one we held on a Sunday drew a good crowd, despite having to hold most of the market indoors (thanks to our great British summer!) as opposed to being outside in Swan Yard where we would have liked to have been (thanks to Philip and Gemma at The Arch for hosting us!).

More recently we had a second market on a Saturday which drew an equal number of visitors, creating a wonderfully lively buzz in Swan Yard.

We had a range of Stalls including Stevie-B (pictured above), Funky Vintage, Made by me in my Kitchen, Petite Canard, Fading Grace, Sara Foster Wirework jewellery, Claire Moses Jewellery and lots more!
We are planning the next Artisan Market on the Christmas Shopping day in Sherborne, Sunday 4 Dec 2011.
