It's been an eventful few weeks at the studio! Our wellbeing group is going great guns and we are starting up new ones too!Ā
Starting on 26th June.

It's prime craft fair season too, I like doing the little ones, although we will be attending some of the bigger ones in July andĀ August. I do have a pet hate though...those walk away comments from people who say such things like, "...you can get ten of those for a quid in the pondshop...". Ā
...seriously?!
If you want cheap, tacky,Ā mass produced don't go to craft fairs! Ā (To be fair though...I love the poundshop...),Ā but they are what they are. If you want unique, lovingly-madeĀ items, madeĀ with time, skill and effort... then goĀ to craft fairs.Ā

They are exceptional value for money, but that doesn't mean cheap.Ā A colleagueĀ and I were working it out...on averageĀ Ā we rarely get higher than Ā£3.00Ā per hour return on a make. That's half the minimum wage! Ā UnlessĀ you are a popular brand, or supplement your income with other things in your business it's hard to get Ā a decent return on your time and effort. We do it though...because we Ā love it! Ā Ā
Hi is there any chance I can join please
