We are looking friendly, creative people to come and demonstrate their skills or crafts at our upcoming exhibition. As well as our regular exhibitors, we would warmly welcome displays of complementary crafts that are sympathetic to our sustainable, salvage-friendly philosophy.
Are you a restorer who works with stone, marble, slate, brick, ironwork or who restores radiators, old tiled floors, fireplaces, baths, taps and any other architectural elements, fixtures and fittings? Are you a craftspeople who can turn wood, make molds, work with glass, plaster with lime or who have any traditional building skills? Perhaps you can demonstrate eco-friendly paint strippers, lime plastering, natural paints or build with reclaimed materials. Could you build a conservatory out of old windows or revive bits of old junk for the home and garden? Let us know!
