Quick review of A&M 2012


Wow, what a day! We had an amazing turnout at Artists & Makers 2012, with beautiful and enchanting stalls, a cafe full of delicious cakes and pastries, a tableful of kids turning out their own Christmas decorations and crowds of visitors happily doing Christmas shopping, plus a bit for themselves.  Our vintage dressing up photo booth did a roaring trade and it was lovely to have Angels with Attitude come and provide some seasonal music again.

Massive thank you to all our volunteers, everyone who helped out with leafleting, on the door, in the cafe, making cakes and in many other ways.  Thank you to all our stallholders who make this such a fabulous event each year, and thanks to all our visitors and shoppers for helping us raise much needed funds to support creativity at Western Road School.

New look for Artist & Makers 2012

Each year Artist & Makers has a fresh new look, reflecting the diversity of artistic talent the fair represents.  This year we are very lucky to have the design talents of John Hamilton again providing the look of this year's fair.  In the Viva Lewes November edition you will see our ad featuring wood block print style text:





Very soon around town you will see our new posters featuring the same wood block print text but also featuring a magpie swooping in to gather up some jewels.
