We are also beyond happy to be hosting These Two Hands monthly for their Makers Market.
It is wonderful to see our new space used as it was intended, as a place for community. With a theme each month following the seasons, Naomi is creating a place, not just for artists, but everyone. To gather, to create and be together 💛
A recent survey in our area asked what people in the community wanted more of and the most common answer was more community events and spaces and reasons to gather. We all crave more connection with people and more real conversation. It's the reason why I started the BS4 arts trail 4 years ago and it's the reason why I'm launching a monthly Makers Market on my little high street, Sandy Park Road, from July onwards to showcase local artisan makers. I want to create a lovely space for people to gather, celebrate the season and feel more connected with their community. Each market will be curated with a seasonal theme, there will be creative workshops for all ages and each one will be raising money for a different charity linked to the theme.
July's market is all about flowers and plants, garden parties, summer colours, scents and designs. There will be flowers, ceramics, jewellery, soaps and balms, cakes and art. I will be running my pressed flower tealight workshops for all ages during the day. There will be a raffle to help raise money for with each maker donating something to be won. I am so proud to know so many amazing makers who are interested in being involved and to be able to do something I believe in that I think will make a big difference to our area. BS4 is a hidden gem with a wonderful community.
If you are a maker and would like to be involved, you can visit my website for all the dates and the application form and to see what each month's theme is. I can't wait to gather and celebrate community and creativity with lots of people every month.
