Festival Fun
We’ve just had a fab weekend exhibiting at The Contemporary Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey where we caught up with old pals, met new customers and even managed a little yarnbomb or two over the course of the weekend.
Stand looking good and yarn bombing the Dartmoor National Park Otter!
Like any outdoor event, we were at the mercy of the elements – summer, eh?! Rain didn’t stop play, we spotted a leek at one point, but we sorted it 😉 With wellies and a flask we were ready to roll!
From otter to Potter!! (The Leeky Cauldron…)
The Contemporary Craft Festival offers a brilliant balance of talented artists showcasing their wares alongside family festival fun. There was plenty of great food, live music and interesting demos, it really was a fantastic weekend.
The sun even put in an appearance and the dampness didn’t seem to put anyone off. Although it might well have accounted for the number of pirates and the mermaid we saw kicking around… 😉
Piracy!
Leek disposal service via The Pocketwatch Theatre Company…
We wanted to say a huge thank you to all those involved in putting on such a great event – from the parking stewards to the security staff!
