POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

💭 Here’s some of what’s been going on - this time last year we moved again… I’m now sitting very happily in my home county of Cumbria. Sad to leave the Peak District and all the wonderful people there but we’ve always dreamt about venturing further north, and well, we’ve finally done it 🎉

Since having our tiny guy Bram (what happened to storm 🌪️ Bram?) we have moved too many times, probably why work took a little longer to resume. However we are now in a perfect spot to watch the seasons change 🍂 and get out into the hills, when we can.

My studio has been set up at home in an upstairs nook, feeling refreshed and ready to re-stock the webshop. Bespoke is now closed for this year 🧡 Thank you so much for keeping me going in this new ‘part time’ chapter of my business. I really do appreciate the support ✨

✨This weekend✨. We can’t wait to see the beautiful stalls, have all the conversations and be back in that incredible atmosphere. Our makers market is just three days away.

Sharing with us what drew them to their work, are five makers joining us this coming Saturday in Sheffield.

@bethancorin
“I always loved the process of designing through the making itself, using the silver like a 3D collage. Then being able to wear it and carry a piece of art with you, I couldn’t resist.”

@tomhardwick
“I always liked drawing at school and when I did a short illustration taster on a foundation course I found the fun nature of illustration really appealed to me more than the fine art projects I was used to”

@blackandgrace_
“What drew me to creating jewellery was a love for making things with my hands, out of all the creative practices. ... I’ve tried something about the combination of design and craft of silversmithing just hit the spot! I love seeing people wearing something I’ve created by hand.”

@ellaosbornes
“Seeing so much amazing work from other illustrators really made me want to make my own amazing work. I was doing a politics degree when I first started, but I was lured away by the glamorous world of illustration and craft. RIP politics degree.”

@son.nel.son
“For me drawing is the most fundamental form of communication, to pick up a pen and create life is perfectly exquisite”

Saturday 10th February

Visit us in Sheffield at The Workstation, a 10 minute walk from the Station and moments away from Site Gallery, opposite The Hubs.

✨Applications Open✨

I’m planning for a big year @endlesslovecreative and inviting makers far and wide to join us in 2024 starting with an end to Winter Hoorah! and an Early Spring Hello!

We’re hosting two markets at the beginning of the year. In Sheffield @showroomworkstation Saturday 10th February and Newcastle @balticgateshead Saturday 2nd March. It’s been our busiest season yet and I’m still navigating how to chill out, but with an early start to 2024, I’m full of excitement for what’s to come.

Are you an @endlesslovecreative maker?

It is true we do have a fair few applications and not everyone gets a table, but here’s a few things we look for in an application.

- A clear visual identity, this is a biggy, from what you sell to the packaging it comes in, showcasing your work in person is about the full experience. Your social platforms will showcase your current work and give an insight into how you approach marketing and customer service.
- An active Webshop and engaging Social Platform, lots of our marketing happens on line and we love to know you’re big on that too.
- we welcome both emerging and established makers, we ask that you have a collection ready to share with us on application that could fill at least a half table.

Applications are open link in bio.

Want to find out more? We share lots of photos of our events on here and albums on Facebook, if you want to know makers we’ve worked with before you can find Winter Market stall holders on our directory page for each location.

Jenni here - I wrote about something that happened in 2016 that’s relevant to today. In one of @saffanabanana’s brilliant videos, she explains that sharing your own personal journey from neutral to anti-apartheid is a powerful tool to inspire change. It is a small thing that I can do at this time 🍉 link in bio 👉 From Gears to Gaza is written for my friend @raniakanaaninsta ❤️

Link in bio 🍉 I wrote a thing about my my shift from neutral to anti-apartheid and how it happened. Inspired by @saffanabanana 🙌 I felt sick writing it, like I was going to get in trouble. But that feeling was programmed into me to keep me small, silent, and compliant. It’s a feeling that’s controlled me for much of my life. Now that I can see it, I am going to challenge it to dismantle the systems of oppression in my own damn head. That’s where it all begins. No amount of money or weapons will keep us safe: safety is a state of mind.
