The Craft Stalls

Throughout the day families came along and got involved with are Interactive Stalls, the church was a great atmosphere and had enough space for people to get crafty and feel relaxed. 





Thanks To Kat and Loti for running the Face painting stall which was very popular with the kids as well as the Adults, from Spider-man to flowers and tigers, people were defiantly getting in to it!


The craft & Zine stall was a great Success, we roughly made £80, selling local artists work. We had everything from Hand made books, Zines and Hand crafted Bracelets. The stall also sold one off prints and our felt creatures. I would like to thank Pauline, Jake, Garry and Bianca For manning the stall. And to all the local Artists who contributed work to sell.

I would like to give out a massive thanks to Claire, Katy and Fran, for selling there unique jewellery ranging from, beautiful hand made wooden brooches, to awesome animal necklaces and keyrings. 



The peg making stall ran by Tasha Simpson and co, consisted of a chance for children and adults to come and get a bit sticky by making there very own pegs.

Chain Reaction a Bike powered Sounds system was used to power the Music - 






We spent all day taking turns to power the sound-system, it was great to be green and kept us all warm in the cold church. I would like to personally thank Chain Reaction for keeping up momentum even when we had technical difficulties.

Andy Joy - To Knit or Knot

Andy Joy did a performance art piece that was aimed at trying to get people involved with building a huge dream catcher and allowing people to interact with a suit case of knitting needles and wool. I went to this at the Leeds Met as she is a freind of mine and enjoyed myself, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon. The tree in the corner is called the "bong tree" it took one woman seven years to crochet and hangs on a garden umbrella. Impressive I reckon. Just a few ideas there anyway.
Tom.

We want all you illustrators to take part in a Leeds based exhibition Called Three Colour Rule in an amazing new venue…Vox Warehouse. The exhibition will be taking place on one night in June and we have already started taking submissions. Please join us and get involved! Don’t worry if your not local either we would love a wider range of people. 

The Criteria for submissions is simple, your illustrations must be three colours (you can use mid tones of colours as well) White and black do count as colours, however if you are printing on a white background and it is not part of your illustration, that’s ok. There are also some titles you can work from on the facebook page.

The deadline for the exhibition is the 20th of May 2011. Hope to see something form you all.
