Photos from our Spring Bank Holiday Working Crafts weekend.
Alford Craft Market's Working Crafts Weekend featured Basket Makers and Willow Weavers this year, and turned out to be one of the largest gatherings of people with these skills ever put on at an event in the UK. Our special guest was Bernard Bennaval, an expert in basket making, who travelled over from France specially for our event. Visitors were treated to displays of exquisite museum pieces of delicate basket ware as well as demonstrations and workshops in both crafts. The weather was unusually kind for a Spring Bank Holiday weekend, and stallholders and demonstrators were happy with the public's response, as were we with the numbers of new people signing up for new lessons at our Craft Centre. A big thanks is due to our site erectors and volunteers from the Committee and their friends who helped over the weekend. |

If you would like to become a ‘Friend of Alford Craft Market’ and spend an hour or two welcoming visitors at the gate over the bank holiday weekends or doing some 'admin' we would love to hear from you. The craft market is run entirely by a small committee of volunteers and we are finding it hard to cover all the jobs between us, so if you can lend a hand with these vital tasks please contact us: alfordcraftmarket@gmail.com
