Art, Craft & Design Fair in Northamptonshire

Art, Craft & Design Fair at Lamport Hall

Lamport Hall Art, Craft & Design Fair

Preparations are in full swing in Shalini Land for the Art, Craft & Design Fair over the Early May Bank Holiday week-end. I am sharing space with Artisan Felter Eve Marshall. We collaborate a lot under the ESha banner and we also like to attend shows together to showcase our work.

Eve and I really hope you will be able to make it to this event and see a lovely range of handcrafted goodies by almost 70 craft workers from the area. Come and treat yourself!
