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'.

Another designer/maker new to reetsweet is Holly Betton from 'Death by Tea' - excellent name don't you agree?

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...

hello sheffield! : reetsweet's spring spectacular!

it was nov we last came to sheffield, it was cold, it was windy, and it was bleak outside! but inside our fair which was just awesome, some of my personal favourites were there including this lady (I think I am almost her stalker) and some of the lovely people who ran craft candy...

fast forward to spring and we are back ladies and gents! we return to sheffield in style, at the prestigious millennium gallery on saturday 10th march, we are going to be trading from 11am to 5pm upstairs in the arundel room (don't worry the reetsweet team will be there to show you!) and will have a host of goodies for you.

as featured on the facebook page, this is the very first time we will have the lovely people from 'when the music's over'....







Using vintage vinyl this married team Bea and Philip have a totally original look the their work and I am really excited about having them on board -

'We are a married couple in our 40's living and working in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. After a very successful first year selling on Folksy where we have already become one of their top 250 best sellers we would now like the opportunity to exhibit at the Millenium Gallery after enjoying previous craft fairs there, we feel this would be the perfect place to showcase our contemporary range of products which include; Desk and mantle clocks, journals and notebooks, unique rings, earrings, hairclips and cuffs for her and keyrings, cufflinks and badges for him....'

I have my eye on a few pieces! Meet you there March 10th - free entry - as always!
