Go craft!
Hello everyone,
last weekend we went to the Craft Market at Pataka. What a great market – Pataka is always worth a trip, but the art gallery lent itself beautifully to a setting for a small market.
We saw a great number of talent, and some exciting cases of upcycling, for example
underpants made out of off-cuts material, paper baskets made out of newspaper,
jewellery made out of bicycle tubes, and pillows made out of old blankets.
Craft markets are a great way to get a feel for the scene and to stimulate your
senses – and this weekend Craft2.0 is on in Christchurch, at Our City O-Tautahi. Come all and have a look!
See you tomorrow,
Thomas

Congratulations to Judith Stanley from Paekakariki! You won our first subscription draw, and therefore this lovely lamp from Ponoko (see post below). Have fun!

Knack Market in Berhampore, last Saturday
The Knack Market is fun! It’s small and intimate, and there are lots of interesting people to meet and things to see. We’re always amazed by all this creative talent out there just working away on their fashion collections, paintings and jewellery. Next time YOU should come around, too!
