Well, we are going with 'Fayre', over 'Fair' for the Craft fayre we will be hosting 6th April 2013, at the Trinity Centre, Meole Village, Shrewsbury on the Church Rd. 
10 - 4pm

We are planning a fayre we would be happy to attend, so there'll be extras, like live music, refreshments, a raffle, FREE goodie bags etc.

At the moment it's working title is 'Spring Handmade Fayre', any better suggestions, feel free to tell us.

Just writing up the application forms, terms etc, and we have a pinterest page with ideas too, go on, have a wee nosey. My pinterest username is Shutterbugjam, follow me.

Anywho, early stages, so we'll keep you informed.

Hello again,

We are very happy to have been asked to give a talk to the Church Stretton Marmaladies WI, next year.(Thurs 9th May 2013)

Now don't get it twisted, these WI'ers are not all Jam and Jerusalem, they will be learning to pole dance, and other fun activities at their meetings.

We'll be talking about our practice with the group as well as the history of the Arts and  Craft movement.

Got a wee meeting to discuss plans for Hey Doll for 2013, we'll of course keep you informed.

Till next time felters, drawers and sewers x

Hello Craft Fans,

English Bridge studios is a great space, lots of light and Dulcie is gonna make mince pies too. So nibbles and Craft, winning combination.

Morning Artisans,

On the hunt for any unwanted wool if you have any throw it our way, we are good catchers; thanks!!

Also TIP of the day;

got a a random button or broken earring, well dig out your glue gun, safety first of course, use the glue sparingly and glue to a plain hair clip, see picture, tah dah! bespoke and fancy hair accessory.

Till next time.

Hello fellow craft fans,

We are currently revamping our website, we loved our old one, but it took too long to load, so bear with us.

Can you hear jingle bells in the distance? Well neither can we but we are none the less beavering away prepping and planning Christmas workshops.....sorry we know it's only August. 

Jenni will be running 2 sessions on the same day (she is hardcore) at the Trinity centre, Shrewsbury, really lovely space and helpful staff. See Workshops page. Jamila and possibly Dulcie will be also running a Christmas workshop in early December, in Shrewsbury more details when we are all sorted.

We want to support our Arty pals too, so tell us about your events, exhibitions fayres etc.

Got some Hen Parties coming up too, which we are very much looking forward to.
Doll, Jamila is currently part of a touring exhibition with the Photographic angle and has a piece in the 'Lights Camera Action' exhibition at the Public, West Bromwich.

Jenni has also been updating her own website and Dulcie started a new job, she is a busy bee. Jamila is prepping for her Upcycling course at the Qube Gallery, Oswestry in October, 5 weeks, Wednesday afternoons.

Here is a picture of some bunting cos we seem to have a unquenchable desire to make bunting, fabric, paper, laminated, sew, no sew....etc etc.

And our our old logo, which Jamila illustrated way back in March 2012, so you can get a lil idea of what we look like, perhaps we should get a good photograph of us all together?

Hey Doll! meeting later, in a pub, good idea or no?? Will be lovely to have a cheeky crafty catch up.
