   The Craft Village    “Fostering Creativity”

      The Craft Village is a MUST for all show-goers

Introduction

The Craft Village is a well established attraction at our annual show. It provides a forum for all our exhibitors, to showcase their creative and unique handcrafted pieces and fine artwork. The aim of our Craft Village is to cover as wide a range of high quality crafts as possible. Each exhibitor puts time and energy into creating and developing each handcrafted piece. Today, people desire and appreciate the creativity and individuality of handcrafted pieces and artwork. Many of our exhibitors return to our Craft Village every year, where they have developed and maintained friendships. We look forward to welcoming you to our Craft Village 2009.
Ellen Fox-Lanigan.
Craft Village Coordinator.
