TWIST & MAKE MARKET: Showcasing Contemporary Craft
Saturday 13 August, 2011 TODAY!
11am – 5pm (Free entry for visitors)
Phoenix Brighton, home of Art Junky, will be showcasing some of our favourite makers in our upcoming craft event, Twist & Make.
Twist & Make celebrates traditional and contemporary craft, bringing makers, techniques and art all together in a beautifully crafted way! With delightful tea and cakes, retro fruit cocktails and a quirky, eclectic soundtrack by our favourite DJ’s, Twist & Make will have something for anyone who loves the finer things in craft!
This exciting event takes place during the gallery exhibition Twisted, which is showcasing exciting craft-based artists. The exhibition will be open during the event, plus there will be taster workshops from our Arts Courses programme that will introduce new people to craft, whilst showing original, inspiring ideas and techniques to seasoned makers. Workshops will include embroidery, using clay and working with flamboyant fashion.
