The Little Craft Shack, Exhibition
October 15-October 28
Returning to The Hayloft for the second time this year, The Little Craft Shack is a creative community of independent artists, crafters, creators, makers and designers; each offering unique handcrafted gifts created in workshops, studios, box bedrooms, garden sheds and probably many more besides.
Loz & Kat, the founders and now managing directors of The Little Craft Shack, put the Arts into Highcliffe Food Festival in 2019. The festival was re-branded The Highcliffe Food & Arts Festival and was a phenominal success.
Loz & Kat were then asked to curate the Arts and Crafts at the 1st Burley Festival in the heart of the New Forest. It was a scorching hot weekend and had a footfall of around 20,000 – another wonderful weekend for local artists and crafters.
The idea of somewhere to promote local, talented Artists and Crafters was initially put into action with an online marketplace platform. This grew and did well during lockdown. However, the creative community became more than website sales so a couple of weeks ago the marketplace was transformed into a directory where our customers and followers could “meet the maker” and order directly from them.
The Little Craft Shack is a creative bunch of artists, potters, jewellers, fused glass crafters, upcyclers, photographers, and much more. Initially, the local coastline was their main source of inspiration, but lately, the wonderful countryside has featured in much of the work too.
