Christmas Jewellery Festival

Thursday 7th May 2009

Artshed invites home grown makers, creators and suppliers to apply for exhibition space at our Christmas Jewellery Festival.

Due to the success of the Hertfordshire Art Fair held over recent years and also the mounting popularity of the jewellery workshops, Artshed are proudly hosting a new Christmas Jewellery Festival: 28 and 29 November 2009

The Christmas Jewellery Festival will be for all makers and creators as well as those who appreciate beautiful jewellery.

All forms of silver and gold makers, lamp working, precious metal clay, beading, textile, ceramic, resins will make up this exciting and unique festival.

Suppliers, artists and enthusiasts will be showcasing their work in this picturesque setting of Westmill Leisure Park, between the historic town of Ware and Hertfordshire’s County Town of Hertford. The Westmill Leisure Park is just off the A10 and 7 miles north of the M25.

The Christmas Jewellery fest is already attracting a lot of attention so to reserve a stand please call to discuss your requirements or email for a pack

Hertfordshire Art Fair - AF6 - May 2009

Sunday 1st March 2009

After very carefully consideration and with great regret we have taken the decision not to stage The Hertfordshire Art & Craft Fair in May 2009.

There were a numbers of reasons, but essentially the overriding influence of the 'credit crunch' or 'recession' has meant much fewer exhibitors have committed to reserve a stand. Interestingly, the larger places have been taken by the most dedicated and positive but the smaller spaces have remained unsold.

We are hoping for an improved economic picture for later in the year, which will give us all, exhibitors and buyers alike a more positive outlook for 2010.

Again, we are extremely disappointed at not being able to stage the Fair this year, however, we are continuing with Artshed's 4th OPEN ART COMPETITION, sponsored by Winsor & Newton. More details on the events page.
