Hereford Craft Fair

Visited Hereford Craft Fair today, in the centre of town near the Cathedral. The town has a lot of character with some very interesting architecture. The weather was great so there were crowds of people out and about looking at all the stands. Basket maker Jenny Pearce had a great selection of baskets, bowls and decorative pieces at very reasonable prices. Glass maker Elaine Mason showed bowls, coasters, sun catchers, dishes of all sizes and jewllery, all made from recycled glass and beautifully displayed. Designer Phillipa Day had a very colourful display of hand made bags, purses, cushions and brooches, all made with gorgeous fabrics, textures and colours. I got some good ideas for display which will help me when I next exhibit. Also visted the Library and Art Gallery, then went for lunch with my family.

Looking forward to the annual Blues Festival next week. If the weather stays like this, there will be as many boats on the river as cars on the roads.
