2026 Events

My first event of the year is the Makers Fair at the Victoria Hall, Saltaire on Sunday 3rd and (Bank Holiday) Monday 4th May. Showcasing over 70 makers from across the UK, sharing their fresh, contemporary art, craft and design carefully chosen for their quality and originality.

I am pleased to have been invited to be part of the By-Hand Exhibiton at the Bath House in RHS Harlow Carr. The summer pop up runs from 1st August to 6th September. 

I am taking part in GNCCF at the Victoria Baths in Manchester 16th - 18th October (Preview evening of 15th October). This premier selling event for contemporary craft in the North of England showcases a carefully curated selection of work, chosen by an independent panel of experts, ensuring the very highest standards of craftsmanship and artistic excellence.

 

As the USA de minimus rule of low value (under $800) items being exempt from tax is set to be removed at the end of August 2025, I am temporarily suspending deliveries to the USA. It's been brought into force very quickly and I think this will entail many delays in the delivery times as well as uncertainty over the amount that will be charged on UK parcels. I do not wish this uncertainty on my lovely USA customers, so am waiting until the dust settles on these new rules and tarifs.

In recent years, selling into the European Union from the UK has become more complex and on 13 December 2024 a new regulation comes into force across the whole EU. GPSR or General Product Safety Regulations are to protect EU consumers from potentially unsafe goods from outside the EU, and increase transparency around manufacturing and safety. Among other things, this regulation requires all non-EU sellers to appoint an EU Representative resident within the EU who ensures compliance with regulations for all goods.
At present I do not have such a representative and as I have very few sales to the EU each year it's not going to be financially viable for me to comply with all the regulations and appoint one. Therefore, sadly, I am suspending all shipping to EU countries and NI as of 3 December 2024.

 

Please Note:  If you have an urgent deadline, please do send me a message, so I can advise you whether I can meet it.
