If you listen carefully, you can hear the buzz of activity at Cheltenham Town Hall as our maker elves put the final touches to their stands. ⁠

These elegant swans are a perfect metaphor for 2023. Smoothly gliding on the surface and furiously paddling underneath.⁠

This year has been such a challenge in so many ways and I admire every small business that is working furiously whilst still extending a welcoming smile. ⁠

⁠A very warm and festive welcome awaits you tomorrow as we open the doors of Craft Festival Cheltenham at 10am. ⁠

5 Favourites from Craft Festival Cheltenham⁠

We asked our exhibitors to choose 5 favourites from our Festival in Cheltenham which opens next weekend. ⁠

Here are the choices of Molly Lemon.

In her own words...⁠

Rachel Higgins Sculpture creates the most exquisite metal animal sculptures. At the beginning of each show I'm always keen to see what creatures she's brought with her.⁠

I love how Adamina and Adrian from 2 Hungry Bakers combine ceramics and wood. Their work feels modern, unique and classic all at once.⁠

Nick from The Letterpress Collective always demonstrates his craft in a fun and enthusiastic way. Using antique machines to make new and exciting art feels a little bit like magic.⁠

I'm drawn to the organic shapes and textures in Beca Beeby's jewellery. They're like little wearable sculptures.⁠

Charlotte Macey's textile creations are beautiful and practical. I think her new range of backpacks are my favourite pieces of hers to date! ⁠

See you in Cheltenham from November 17-19. ⁠
