I am delighted that this year I am exhibiting at St Just Craft Fair.
One of Cornwall’s largest arts and craft fair, held annually for two weeks at the beginning of August. It has raised phenomenal amounts every year for Cancer Research and their target this year is to raise £50,000. I am delighted to be able to play a small part in helping to raise that amount.
I have chosen local scenes to sell as framed paintings. Also available are a wide range of products including mounted paintings, greeting cards, gift tags, paintings on easels, as well as printed cards and post cards.
I had created a lot of gift tags from my original paintings. These do seem popular and are an inexpensive purchase for people. However it was difficult choosing how to display them! In the end I decided on a wooden cutlery tray.
My 6 x 6 greeting cards of small original paintings are always popular and I have painted small scenes from around the West Cornwall area. I have made 40 cards ready to sell. I can’t wait to learn which scenes ones are popular.
This is the first time I have exhibited at a Fair. I found this quite daunting, deciding how to best display my products in a 4ft space, where I wouldn’t be able to make small adjustments.
Please do visit if you are in the St Just area. The Fair is open from 5th–16th August at Cape Cornwall School and features over 200 local Artists and Crafters. Admission is £1 and is open daily from 10am–7pm.
