At the Christmas Fayre...

Jazzlins

Card making is a passion of mine.  I have always loved paper and have enjoyed sticking and gluing - nothing more satisfying than starting off with a sheet of paper and a few gems and ribbons and ending up with something 'special'.

Sharing my passion for papercraft is also important to me and hence the reason for running the odd workshop.

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.

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.
