"by Kasey"

"My subjects are almost always nature, unless I'm taking for a competition. Flowers, wildlife, birds, water, sky, anything I like the look of I'll try and get a decent shot of and hope someone else will like it enough to buy it. My cameras are always with me so I should never miss 'that shot' (except the deer who only seem to run across in front of the car when I'm driving!!)

I print and frame everything myself and I only make one print in each size from each shot (from A4 to 16"x12" or I can order a larger print on canvas if required) , so every product is unique.

Prices vary from £8 - £21 (larger canvases more) according to the size of the picture and style of frame."

Handmade crafts for your home at the Spring craft fair

We have a wide selection of makers exhibiting their crafts for the home at this event, here are a few to get you inspired.

"Dear Blackbird"

"Vintage Home Style"

"Simply Handmade Ltd"

"Sarah Sews"

"Sheepgate Crafts"

"One of my hobbies is sewing.  I started  making my own clothes when I was a teenager and took it up again when my daughters were small.   The problem with sewing for a hobby is what to do with all the things you make – there is only so much you can give to family and friends! I decided that if I could sell some items at local farmers markets and craft fairs that would allow me to carry on with my hobby without filling up the house.   So Sheepgate Crafts was born."

"Pins and Needles"

"Mad Bird Designs"

"Art design and making things has been a lifelong journey. From learning to hand knit at age four, teaching machine knitting, publishing machine knit patterns, crochet, painting and now recycling other peoples unwanted items. All these art forms have entranced me and I hope I have given some pleasure to the viewers.

I consider myself an enthusiastic dabbler in many crafts and love to play with art mediums. Obsession is my main influence, something will catch my imagination and I am off on a journey until the 50p ticket runs out.  Then away I go on something else. For this reason I rarely repeat designs. Most of my work involves a story within the work, either the pictures are reworked into a new story or the items themselves have a history.

A self-taught Mixed Media and Textile Artist I rely on working hard to get my ideas into my finished items. The inspiration for my art comes from the items that I find at auctions, charity shops and boot fairs. Sometimes items will stay with me for years before being put in just the right place. 

I am an avid reader, fanatic sock knitter, Queen of the compost heap, vegetable grower, dog lover and regular Mad Bird."

"Buttons in Bloom"

"Made by Daisy-May"

Artists at the Spring craft fair

We have three very talented artists exhibiting at the Spring craft fair.

Jay Brockbank
"Basicaly I  love to work in indian ink. And I do this by building up the layers of colour/depth. At the moment it is my hobby but would love to turn proffesional. I am lucky to live on a farm with my other half who does keepering and tractor driving  and that gives me some amazing insights and inspiration of the local wildlife. I also have several dogs and a horse too and really enjoy the challage of doing a loved pet's or horses portrait for other people."

The original, acrylic on canvas paintings are also for sale.Sizes and prices are displayed with the images on the Artwork page, but if you would like a different size of print, this can easily be arranged.I also undertake commission work and would love to discuss any ideas you may have for a piece of work if you would like something specially created." www.artbysallycoop.wordpress.com

" I work from photographs to create fine pen pictures with a water wash.  My pieces focus predominantly on animals and motorbikes.  I embrace the challenge of commissioned work and I am always willing to try something new!" www.keri-ann-art.co.uk

Crafters at the Spring craft fair, St. Peter's Church.

The Spring craft fair on the 4th May at St. Peter's Church, Sudbury, is fast approaching.  Fingers crossed for better weather, hopefully by May we should be able to say it won't snow...shouldn't we??  We have a great selection of crafters attending this fair, we are also in the process of arranging a small workshop to run along side the fair,   this should add another element of interest for the visitors.  The jewellery allocation is full now for this event, there is a great variety of jewellery on offer, one of the designers is called 'Astrid Vaswani' and she has sent me some photo's of her creations.  They are 'repurposed pin bracelets' and sell for around £6 - £8 depending on size, I think they are very creative.
