Auckland Art & Craft Fair

Hey lovelies, just wanted to do a quick reminder post about the Auckland Art & Craft Fair that I'm organising with Kylie under the Auckland Craft Collective. Applications close tomorrow (eek!) and we've had heaps come in today as the word gets out there.

If you haven't heard, the Auckland Art & Craft Fair is happening for the very first time on July 24th 2010 at the prestigious Auckland Art Gallery. The Fair is designed to showcase a selection of New Zealand best independent and contemporary Designers, Artists & Crafters selling their products direct to the public for one day only.

At the Fair you will find products with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, creativity and style. You can purchase direct from the seller, knowing that you are supporting our local talent and you will be taking home a special piece that has soul.

We have been super lucky with having major sponsors the Auckland Art Gallery, Frankie Magazine and Base FM and support from people like EcoStore and the very talented Sarah McNeil.

Check out the blog for more information, hop to it!

Auckland Craft Collective launches today!

Then why am I still holding my breath with anticipation? Or is that excitement? Either way, it's totally awesome!!

The Auckland Craft Collective is my new little baby and I have teamed up with the very productive Kylie of Skipapple to put it all together and make it happen! So really, it's our little baby. It all began several months ago when I was going to set up an Auckland Etsy group to network and share idea's with local crafters and artisans, but something about that didn't sit quite right and then I was talking via comments with Crafty Business and a few others saying that I wished there was something similar in Auckland — and when they all said, why don't you set something up — I thought, well, why don't I?! And so it begins....

You can take a look at the Auckland Craft Collective blog for more detailed information about what we will be doing and we will be launching a website in the next week or two with even more information so it's very exciting.

I hope that you will all take a gander and let usknow your thoughts, it would be great to have the craft community's support as this concept is intended to help all of us. We really want it to do well and to support our unique little industry so feedback is welcomed.

Talk soon lovelies!
