Thank you Sheffield!


Thanks to all the lovely customers that came out in force to the Sheffield event on saturday, it was a beautiful sunny day! There were some amazing makers on show, pop over to the facebook page to view the gallery or go to www.reetsweet.com to have a look...






Previews for our next event which is in Leeds @ The Corn Exchange on Sat april 7th, will be starting shortly...see you soon!

Friday

It's here! 11am onwards...The Sheffield Spring Spectacular!


We aren't ones to boast, but tomorrow's fair in Sheffield at the Millennium Gallery is shaping up to be a belter so please bob down and take a peek, it's free and we are open until 5pm - just 2 mins walk from the train station!...




What can you expect?

Reetsweet is no ordinary craft fair, we handpick only the best quality crafts, and the most original makers around to bring you something worth leaving the high street behind for. You'll find original art, jewellery, printmaking, homewares including textiles and ceramics, upcycling - you name it, it's here, and it's all a little bit different to what you think of as 'craft'.

We began in 2010 with a mission - to campaign against crap craft and the general old fuddy duddy image of crafting and put on fairs that showcase modern, fashionable craft at it's best...so get down and show your support tomorrow...see you there!

reetsweet sheffield: march 10th previews - new makers on the block!

There's always something new and exciting at every event we do, and March 10th in Sheffield is no exception...here's a run down of some exciting makers to keep your eyes peeled for that are either new to reetsweet, or have new work we just have to show you!

Regular Reetsweet maker Kim Lawler of Finest Imaginary has a stunning new range out, called 'The Great outdoors' inspired by the america wilderness, working in perspex and also now a lot more often in etched wood, her new work has me aching for a holiday in a log cabin somewhere:

New to our events, we are also proud to be showcasing the work of Sarah Culleton - a truly original bag designer!

Sarah designs and makes limited runs of each of her bags, handmade from the finest fabrics, recycled materials and antique findings, everything we have seen in her collection is made to the highest standard with a strong emphasis on originality, quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Sarah says her inspiration comes from 'childhood memories and my lifelong passion for fashion and textiles'.

Holly studied textile design at Nottingham Trent, and specialised in print making, she makes, designs and sells a full range of cards, textiles, ceramics and original artworks and combines playful text with her naive and charming illustrations...
