New seller round-up

As per usual for the time of year we've had a lot of new sellers arrive recently to join us in Fabrication, so we thought it was about time we gave you a round-up of who's new in store. So, in no particular order, we are pleased to introduce to you...

Creation Crafts

Creation crafts sell both finished products or, for the crafter, the paper is available in sheets. The beautiful designs are based on kimono fabrics and are all hand printed in Japan.

Little Wings Butterflies

If you are looking for an unique and bespoke little gift come and have a look at my beautiful butterfly frames. Each one is handmade with paper cut butterflies and mounted with their wings slightly bent to give a lovely eye catching 3D effect . I create different pieces each time but I can make personal frames to order by adding a name, date of birth or any colour scheme. Please find me on Facebook or go to Fabrication for more info.
 

Zoe Barber Design

Handmade jewellery in silver with quirky detail in brass, copper and polymer clay.

 

Street Lane Framing

I frame all items from pictures to shirts. Make mirrors and undertake various crafting projects. You name it, we frame it. 

Pattern Passion

Preeti's love for nature reflects in her designs which she draws and paints with passion. These unique handmade patterns adorn silk womenswear, scarves, cushions, purses, wristlets and art prints. 

 Spider & Fly

At Spider & Fly I believe childhood is too short for boring clothing. I try to create colourful and exciting clothes for babies and toddlers that are also functional. It all started when i hady son and was disappointed with boys clothing on the high street - not willing to settle I started making things that were fun and made to last. 

 Hollybush

At Hollybush we run training short courses in basic woodwork open to everyone.  Alongside this we have ongoing sessions for adults with learning disability and mental health recoverers. Producing items to a saleable standard is an important part of our ethos.

We make simple items from recycled pallets and sustainably sourced new timber. Some items are hand painted mainly by two talented ladies from Poland. A range of larger items and bespoke commissions can be obtained by contacting us.

Delighted to bring our curve roofed hedgehog homes, robin boxes, boot pulls and painted trugs to Fabrication.

We are planning to involve several of our long term volunteers in supporting our unit at Fabrication.

Guppy's Chocolates are Peter and Fran Guppy and we are passionate about all things chocolate! All our delicious chocolates are handmade & hand packaged from our family-run premises in York. We pride ourselves on carrying on the family traditions of the Rowntrees and Terry's families, handmaking great quality chocolates in the City of York.

Spotlight on the seller...Sustainable Thoughts

At the heart of my business is my love for the environment and the natural beauty that exists in the world. I am however, greatly concerned by the global issues that threaten to upset the delicate balance.

It is for this reason – sustainability of resources - that I choose to use pebbles and mixed media to create outdoor paving slabs, which are fun and also complement and beautify outdoor spaces. Where possible, I reuse old crockery and ceramics - because where will it ALL go? Your loft? Charity shops? Landfill?

I derive great satisfaction from creating something unique whilst working with unloved treasures, ranging from grandma’s old china to tired tables ready for the tip and ‘combtrasting’, (new combining & contrasting), it with new tesserae to make a design work. It inspires me to see these precious pieces transformed - with a new lease on life and saved from landfill !!! Instead, these carefully crafted pieces will bring joy and mindfulness of living the three R’s.

When I am not doing mosaics, I love making new paper from bits of paper from the recycling box !

It is fun and really therapeutic making different types of paper using different techniques with a mould and deckle. Paper quilling is another one of passions and I derive hours of great satisfaction from twirling strips of paper and creating exquisite effects with the coils of paper.

I am a qualified teacher and community artist so if you would like to do a taster session in mosaics, papermaking or paper quilling for individuals or groups please feel free to contact me. Wendy is running a number of classes for us this summer so please see the website for more details
