Helen Maxfield Printmaking

 

I create small edition original lino prints. I love the different stages in the process of linoprinting: from the creative stages of translating my observational drawings into a design, to the physical carving of the lino, and finally to the magical revelation of the finished print!

My subjects include animals, flowers, landscapes and people. I exhibit my prints in local art shows in Suffolk and Essex.

At the fayre Helen will be selling original lino prints, available framed and unframed as well as hand made cards incorporating original lino prints.

At the Christmas 2012 Fayre...

Cristy's Handmade Costume Jewellery

I started making my jewellery as a hobby about 4-5 years ago and I was self taught. I gradually learnt the basic beading stitches to make different designs over this period until I was confident enough to sell them, not to make a living but mostly to continue financing a costly hobby. When I thought the quality was up to a professional standard I wanted, it gave me more courage to attend exhibitions and craft events.

I make a wide range of different items including beaded rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces and these are my own designs that are different from the normal jewellery that is sold. I sell my items at very competitive prices, this gives everyone a chance to buy something and I hope remind them of my work.

Blog Update

You may have noticed that the Creations blog is undergoing a bit a a revamp - please bear with me as I should be finished soon!  I'll post an update on the changes along with details of the next fayre.

Update 23rd March 2012

I hope you like the new look to the Creations blog! :)  Here's an overview of some of the changes...

• I have added details for the next Creations Craft Fayre - it will be on Saturday 1st December.  I will be contacting past sellers shortly and will start to book places at the fayre.
• The left column of the blog will now be used for sellers ads linking to their website / blog / shop.  There is just one example so far, more will be added as stalls at the fayre are booked.
• I am often asked by sellers if I know of any other local fayres so I thought it would be useful to add a page for other local events.  If you know of any other craft fayres or events please leave a comment on the blog or email me and I'll add them to the page.
• I have also made a couple of blog badges please feel free to use these on your blog / website to link back to here.
