Some of the new pieces I've been making ready for the brilliant Hexham Christmas Market this Saturday 13th, 9am -3pm at Hexham Abbey As usual I'll be sharing a table with the lovely the artful robin - original mixed media sculpture by Robin Fox This is always a busy, festive day throughout the Abbey and the town, so many makers and independents who will be ready with a warm welcome for all of the visitors.

Really looking forward to this, Saturday 13th 9am - 3pm 🎄☺️

Tis the Season.

Another busy time and the studio is resembling Santa's workshop in readiness for our last event of the year at Hexham Abbey Saturday 13th December 9am - 3pm. We are, as ever, delighted to be part of this annual spectacle in such a special place. I'm looking forward to sharing this day with the lovely Deborah art4deb and catching up with many of our regulars and meeting some new faces as we bring you a selection of our handmade life long gifts.

This fabulous community event will have over 130 stalls within the Abbey and outdoors, offering artisan gifts, crafts, food, drink etc. with festive activities for the children and music for all. Local businesses will be open too, so many brilliant independents throughout the town like Matthias Winter (at the top of Hallstile Bank - accessible by foot via the temporary steps past the roadwork barriers), and Handmade by LollaMac in Back Street, so many, many more traders too, like Muckle Brewing in the Market Place 🎄

Thank you to all for your continued support and we are very much looking forward to doing it all again next year!
With our best wishes
Robin and Deborah xx

Part of a new delivery to the fabulous Matthias Winter in Hexham. Love visiting this lovely ethical/eco shop where there is always a warm welcome, beautiful gifts, huge selection of cards and their refill station amongst lots more going on. I'm very fond of their paper tapes - some fab Christmas themes with those at the minute 🎄 If you're in Hexham and have a chance to pop in there is a small step in place to help access the shops at the top of Hallstile Bank.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and wishing you all a good Monday 🌿
