The Creations Christmas Craft Fayre on Saturday went well :) I hope that crafters and shoppers alike enjoyed the day! Here are some photos from the fayre...
Creations was started in 2010 to provide a friendly venue for artists, crafters and designers from the Colchester area to display their work and sell to the public. Sellers are welcomed whether they are new, and looking to sell their work for the first time, or are more experienced. The aim of Creations is to showcase and promote high quality handmade products from talented designers and makers.

One day until the fayre...
Only one day until the Creations Christmas Craft Fayre! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there and all the lovely things which will be for sale.
If you are unfamiliar with West Bergholt look out for the yellow direction posters around the village - the Orpen Hall is on Lexden Road (next to the football pitch/ tennis courts and children's playground).

Meet the Stallholders - Christmas 2011
I crochet and knit
anything from bed socks, baby wear to adult cardigans, jumpers, tops
to blankets, throws and so much more.
I do about 10% of my work without a
pattern, following customer requirements but mostly I work from patterns
knitting and crochet, that customers have chosen from my selection or bought
themselves.

I will be selling jewellery including necklaces, bracelets and earrings created
from my own handcrafted polymer clay beads.
I work with polymer clay (Fimo) to make my beads which are baked to harden.
These beads together with other spacer beads made of wood, silver, bronze and
copper are used to create my jewellery.

I love working with gorgeous linens, Liberty of London Tana Lawn prints and dipping into my huge jar of vintage buttons whenever possible.
I use these materials to create a variety of textiles including children's clothing, soft toys, decorative home items, phone cases, brooches and other accessories. Unable to part with even the tiniest of scraps I try to incorporate every precious item of fabric into my work.

I studied dressmaking and textiles and grew a passion for seeking out gorgeous fabrics, especially those with a linen content as it is a pleasure to cut and sew. Beautiful cushions, funky bunting and padded hearts are created with beauty and quality in mind.
I'm sure you will find your needful thing!

Handcrafted bags and accessories in a number of different styles and a variety of unusual fabrics, many of which are vintage/recycled. From sturdy shoppers made from furnishing fabrics to dainty evening bags and glasses cases made from printed silks, my bags are all carefully made in my home studio.
Many of my bags are made using vintage kimono fabric which I import from Japan and most are unique. I also welcome custom orders and have made bags to match wedding outfits and prom dresses. Prices range from £4 to £25.

Meet the stallholders - Christmas 2011
I started making my jewellery about 4-5 years ago and I was self taught. I
gradually learnt the different designs over this period until I was confident
enough to sell them when I thought the quality was up to a professional standard
I wanted.
I make a wide range of different items from 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.
