New collections and Art in the Pen, Carlisle

I had a lovely time exhibiting at Art in the Pen, Carlisle at the weekend. It was the first of it's kind in Carlisle and it was wonderful to be apart of this event being in my home town. Thank you so much to everyone that came along and supported the event and also who visited my stand. It was lovely chatting and meeting you all. I also launched some new pieces at the event including these cute little bird house hangings which went down a treat...

...and these new plate clocks...

 

 

Art In The Pen, Carlisle, 28th - 29th June 2014

I have been busy getting ready for my up and coming Summer events including the new Art In The Pen in Carlisle. Annually held in Skipton for the last nine years it is coming to Carlisle for the first time. Cow pens are transformed into little stands where over 70 selected local and national artists and makers exhibit and sell their work in a lovely friendly atmosphere. Exhibits will include ceramics, textiles and much more.

The event is on 28th - 29th June 2014, 10am - 4pm, £2 entry fee at Borderway Mart, Montgomery way, Rosehill, Carlisle, Cumbria. There is also a preview evening on Friday 27th June, 7pm - 9pm which is by invitation only. I do have a number of invitations so if you would like to come along please feel free to contact me at info@amanda-mercer.co.uk with your address and I will pop them in the post to you.

Lifestyle shots for the Spirit of Christmas Fair website

I have just spotted my Christmas decorations, little trees and buttons on the Spirit of Christmas Fair website. It's lovely to see them amongst other pieces in a lifestyle shot. I am unfortunately not going to be exhibiting at the fair this year but it was lovely to have been asked to send in some pieces of my work for the shoot.
