Craft Fair 2026 Exhibitors

Vivienne is a cyanotype artist living in the Great Missenden countryside, which gives her the advantage of being surrounded by beautiful botanical specimens that serve as the inspiration for her prints.

To begin the process, two chemicals are mixed and applied to create light-sensitive paper or cloth. Dried plants (that Vivienne collects herself each season) and other collected items are placed in position over the prepared material and are held in place by glass and clips. This is all exposed to the light, producing results in minutes. After exposure the prints are washed and gradually develop stunning Prussian blue hues.

With a background in graphic design, Vivienne’s understanding of print and photographic processes has allowed her to experiment with various techniques, including painting and printing with leaves and flowers.

Her experience teaching mixed media to community groups has also provided her with opportunities to explore different print and painterly effects. Her cyanotypes started as playful exploration into a more unusual old Victorian photographic printing process and developed into a fascination for capturing natural forms and details to create unique pieces of art.

Mandi uses the crafting technique of paper quilling/filigree which was thought to have originated during the Renaissance. It is an artistic medium that involves winding thin strips of coloured paper to create coils, spirals, and shapes. These are glued to make intricate, decorative designs, like building a jigsaw puzzle. She makes pictures of assorted sizes, greetings cards and a range of gifts.

Mandi has recently begun to work with clients to create bespoke pieces, exploring a wider range of subjects which she has thoroughly enjoyed, rising to the challenge of quilling Bambi, open-topped cars and even a pair of cowboy boots!

Mandi has taken part in the Queens Park Artisan Market for the last 3 years and is a regular at Lopemede Farm Artisan Market in Long Crendon. She is keen to share her passion for this little-known craft, demonstrating the expansive range of what can be achieved using such a readily available material. The possibilities are endless!

Gem’s Fused Glass creates handcrafted fused glass art inspired by the beauty of the natural world. With over seven years’ experience, Gem draws inspiration from the colours, patterns, shapes, and textures she sees around her in nature.

Each piece is individually designed and fused with care – from hanging and freestanding decorations to glowing tea-lights, vibrant sun catchers, and festive Christmas designs.

No two pieces are ever exactly the same, making every creation as individual as the inspiration behind it.

Kathy Hoath is a fibre artist whose primary medium is wet felting. She often integrates this with other techniques and materials pushing it beyond its traditional boundaries and adding to its aesthetic potential.

She makes scarves and other wearables, but particularly enjoys creating challenging 3D shapes inspired by nature, mathematics, art, engineering, mythology, sport and dance. Her vessels and sculptures are architectural in nature, driven by an exploration of form, structure, balance, volume, and movement. She investigates how surfaces define space and how solid forms interact with their surroundings, blending artistic expression with engineering problem-solving.

She has incorporated wire, fabric, paper, glass, and stitch into her work and has developed her own distinctive marriage of felt with freehand machine embroidery on soluble fabric, enjoying the contrast between the two materials.

Erin’s work is primarily inspired by nature and is all original in its concepts. It ranges from symmetrical to asymmetrical and evokes a sense of fun, experimentation and individuality.

Her creations are primarily made from sterling silver but can also incorporate copper, fine silver and gemstones. Erin can take commissions and ideas and make them into useable pieces of jewellery and family mementoes and heirlooms. Her hallmark is registered with the London Assay Office which requires all items in silver weighting more than 7.78grams to be checked for their authenticity to ensure their legitimacy.

Every item is made as a one off piece meaning that even a pair of earrings will not be a perfect match as they are made individually. She finds the challenge of taking commissions particularly fulfilling as it takes time to create a unique item that originates from someone else’s mind and imagination, but Erin always looks forward to seeing the happy customer in the end.

Alison has been throwing pots on and off since the 1970s when she studied at Amersham College and worked for a while at Woburn Abbey. This has included attending sessions at Queens Park Arts Centre in her spare time since its inception in 1980.

She throws for fun and sells pieces to create room to make more. Alison’s ceramics are mainly thrown work, often using two different clays to create a spiral effect in the pot. Other pieces – bowls, vases and more – are made using a general stoneware.

Ariana is a hand weaver, tapestry tutor at Queens Park Art Centre and crocheter. She learnt to weave at University and hasn’t stopped since! She uses a variety of table top looms to create different items and effects.

She has an excellent eye for colour and design, making unique creative scarves and baby blankets. Ariana gains inspiration from new patterns found in books and videos and is always on the look out for wools with interesting textures and colours.

Polyfarm is made up of Em, Cole, and Rory; a trio of creatives working from their home to create unique handmade items.

When they aren’t in the workshop, you can find them pottering the canals on a narrow boat, raiding the local re-use shops or cosy on the sofa! The group focus on reclaiming materials, reducing waste, and sourcing local wherever possible.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind blend of all their combined passions and skills, and they work in a variety of mediums: Woodworking, screen printing, knitting, soap making, illustration, to name just a few!

Gosia Klosowska is a figurative artist working primarily in oils. She is drawn to the quiet yet intense beauty of the world around her.

Her painting style is rooted in the Impressionist and Expressionist traditions – with every brushstroke, she aims to capture the unique psychological or physical essence of her subject. Whether painting a portrait, an animal, or a still life, she takes time to observe, analyse, and discover the most meaningful way to represent it, creating work that feels both authentic and deeply personal.

Born in Poland, Gosia has explored a range of creative disciplines including architecture, graphic design, photography, and eventually photo retouching. Alongside her creative career, she completed a degree in Psychology, an experience that deepened her understanding of human nature and continues to influence her artistic practice.

In 2022, Gosia settled in Buckinghamshire and returned to drawing and painting. Her years of experience across different visual disciplines, combined with her interest in psychology, came together to shape the way she paints today.

Rebecca is a talented and experienced local potter, specialising in novelty Christmas gifts and handmade ornaments, products.

David’s work is inspired by the drive to translate the colours, patterns, and textures found in nature into beautiful and functional objects for the home and garden. He was trained as engineer by the RAF and has a long history of being fascinated by the use of coloured and textured glass in architectural and domestic settings; whether as pure art, practical every day objects, or statement pieces designed to define the spaces they illuminate.

He designs and builds bespoke stained glass windows, as well as repairing and refurbishing period stained glass windows, door panels, and transoms. Designs frequently combine traditional stained glass work with hand painted, fused, and etched details.

David’s aim is to create joy in an object, and the experience of seeing something new, whether a colour mix, shadow, or pattern each time the object is viewed.

He believes that in a world of single use items, the sustainability of the production process, and the longevity of the piece is critical. A well designed and made piece of glasswork has a long life ahead of it.

Laura works with carefully selected fabrics to make an eclectic range of items such as scrunchies, pet accessories, beeswax wraps, make-up pads and cushion covers among many more. These are sold in local shops, cafes, at events and online.

She also uses her skills as a teacher to host workshops and clubs in her garden workroom in Stoke Mandeville for adults and children.
