Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair Online...SPRING edition

Craft says…excuse me, listen up, I’m different. Be original, be curious, make a statement. Why not own something that nobody else does?

We are Great Northern Events NW Ltd, a not for profit organisation, whose aims are to champion designer-makers, provide opportunities to showcase and sell their work, and help build a market for craft through our award-winning Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fairs.

The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNCCF) and GNCCFonline are opportunitues to buy direct from top designer-makers and craft artists. All exhibitors are hand-picked by an independent panel of craft experts, to give you the best in covetable and beautiful design and craftsmanship.

The shows feature jewellery, textile accessories, print, furniture, lighting, ceramics, glass, wood, metal and more. GNCCF and GNCCFonline are opportunities to buy direct from the makers - and to meet and chat to them at our "live" fairs. Many of our exhibiting makers also work to commission, should you be looking for something special or bespoke.

Workshop: Make Silver Earrings/Stacking Rings..on hold!

Summer 2021 Workshops…Dates at last!

I’ll be running some small group workshops from my studio in Wakefield. Don’t worry if you can’t make any of the dates, just email me and we can work out another time that suits. Due to Covid I am having to restrict numbers to 3 people max (normally I can have up to 5 ). My workshops are suitable for beginners so grab a ‘bubble’ friend and have ago. All materials included as well as tea/coffee and biscuits/cake. They make a great birthday/Christmas present and are a fab way to spend a few hours with your family/friends. Working with your hands concentrates the mind and it’s amazing how time can fly. Let me know if it’s a special occasion as I’ll bring cake!

10.00am-2.00pm I have shortened the length of workshops to lessen contact time, but if needed and people are happy to stay longer, I can accommodate this.

Make silver stacking rings - 2021

Make silver earrings - 2021

Learn how to cut, shape, solder and add texture to silver.

Take away a pair of earrings or a set of stacking rings to wear or maybe gift to someone.

Digital Craft Festival

I'm so pleased to announce that I'll be taking part in this event in March. It's my first time, so a little daunting to be among makers who I've admired for many years. It's a great event which will be hosted on Instagram, Facebook and Zoom.

Live interviews on Instagram, live and recorded demonstrations, Live Craft Conversations, live making workshops, Craft Cinema, children’s activities and storytelling, live yoga, qigong, breathwork and more.

I'll be creating a new body of work especially for the event so follow me on Instagram and Facebook for more info and sneaky peeks over the next few weeks.

You can also follow the hashtags #digitalcraftfestival and #craftfestival as well as @craftfestival and @digitalcraftfestival where info on all the makers taking part will be going live in the next week or two.

That's it!...I hope you'll join me. Looking forward to sharing some new work with you soon!

Crafted by Hand

Crafted by Hand -Masham

The fab team at Crafted by Hand have now launched this as an online event. Please check out their website: http://www.by-handevents.com/winter-2020.html for all the makers taking part including myself, as we’ll be selling our wares online this year. There’s a little video below of me talking about my work, which I made especially for the event.

Message from the organisers:

Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel Crafted By Hand's physical Winter show, instead we have invited our Winter makers to take part in our virtual online Show!!
This Winter over the weekend 6th-8th November, we will be providing opportunities to buy directly from some of the makers via our Instagram Stories. If you don't already, follow us on Instagram & keep an eye out on our stories or search #CBHOnlineShow to find out what the makers have for sale that weekend!

Please click on the different categories below; to see who is part of the online show, find out about our featured makers & most importantly follow the links to their website & shops.
Also watch the videos by our featured makers, to learn more about them & their work. These can also be found on our Youtube page here.

If you can support them in anyway over this period of time, it will mean so much to them as individual artist & makers.

Thank you & enjoy,
​Josie & Charlotte x
