One Month until Craft Festival Returns to The Capital of Craft
Date: 18 May 2022
Dear Craft Festival Friend,
To paraphrase The Bard, whilst Bovey Tracey is but little, she is fierce! Dubbed locally as The Capital of Craft, Bovey is brimming with craft based businesses including the Nationally respected Make South West (you might know it as Devon Guild).
Based in the heart of Bovey, I have worked with Make South West since Craft Festival began and quite frankly, we wouldn't exist without their support.
Our association is as strong as ever. With the inspirational leadership of Laura Wasley, Make South West has a great future. Representing over 250 makers from the South West, Make South West is one of the UK's leading educational charities and supporter of makers.
We asked Laura to choose her 5 favourites from Craft Festival.
If you live near Bovey Tracey, you can pick up your tickets in person from Make South West in Bovey Tracey. Grab yours Now!
Catch up soon,
Sarah
