Wool and Craft Supplies Market No.2
Saturday, 7 September 2019 from 09:30-16:00 MinorOak Nottingham Coworking, 4 Gedling Street, Sneinton Market, NG1 1DS Nottingham RESCUE AND REUSE This market is for Notts community of crafters: people who knit, crochet, embroider, sew, do needlepoint, work with paper, make jewellery, and more. FOR BUYERS: It's an opportunity to get ready for the crafting season with incredible bargains on the supplies you want and need. You can feel good about reusing rather than buying new. There will be pre-purchased and gently used items available and who knows what you'll find. FOR SELLERS: This market will give you a chance to refocus, clean up shop and give others the opportunity to buy wool, yarn and supplies that you no longer have a place for. Please e-mail dee@minoroak.com or message MinorOak Nottingham Coworking if you'd like to be a seller. FOR EVERYONE: This is going to be more than just a market. It will be a community event. We'll have tables set up on Avenue A for sitting and visiting if the weather is nice, and free coffee, tea and snacks. The meeting room will be converted into a lounge. MinorOak's ground floor is wheelchair accessible and has a wheelchair accessible toilet. |

Thank you all!
A huge thank you to all members who found treasures to take home from Liz Welch's stands at Regional Day - an amazing nearly £900 will be donated to Breast Cancer Now and only a few small boxes are left which will be found good homes. This has been a monumental task which though extremely sad at times has been lovely to find so many people who knew Liz, had seen her at a workshop or a show or on TV and have given generously for 'stuff they didn't know they needed'. I would encourage all of you to use all the 'special treasures' you have acquired instead of waiting for the ' ideal project' and try to find the time to learn the new skills you have bought all the bits for and always wanted to do. It has been quite a challenge to find the right people and places who know about all the different crafts and interests she had - think ahead before it is too late - Liz simply ran out of time. Very nearly £5000 raised so far from craft items and still lots more to come in - see with grateful thanks, Erica |
HOME: the Guild Member Project for 2019
ANNOUNCING the Guild Member Project for 2019 HOME
Following the inspiring Capability Brown exhibitions in 2016, the hugely
successful Page 17 in 2017 and, more recently, the poignant 100 Hearts
in 2018, we now announce the Guild's project for 2019 – it is entitled
“HOME”. Is HOME the place you return to at the end of each day? Do you have fond memories of a childhood home, long since left behind? Invite us in and show us, in stitch, the special memories you have of your home. Have you lived on a brightly coloured canal boat; in a high rise flat or a converted barn? Have you travelled widely - perhaps seen the favelas in Rio or the slums in Mumbai; a tree house on the beach in the Phillipines? Home should mean shelter and safety but for some it is not. And what of the natural world - a bird's nest, the river of a spawning salmon, the arctic home of the polar bear or the woodland burrow of a fox? Invite us in and tell us, in stitch, what the word HOME means to you. Find more inspiration on our webpage HOME Project 2019 |
