Hereford Contemporary Craft Fair 2008

14th – 16th November @ The Courtyard Centre for the Arts

Deadline for applications - Monday, 14th April 2008

 

Apply now for this showcase of the finest contemporary craft from Herefordshire and around the UK.  No commission is taken on sales.  Applications are invited from contemporary designer makers working in traditional and non-traditional media, and selection will consider design and technical skill to reflect a variety of media and styles.

 

A New Exhibitor Award is open to Herefordshire makers who have not previously exhibited at this event - this includes a subsidised stand and extra promotion.  A Best Product Award is also made, as voted by visitors to the fair.

 

In 2007 exhibitors reported a 3.5% rise in sales.  Not just a great retail event, exhibitors state:

“I had an even more successful fair in 2007 than 2006.  Visitors who saw me last year recognised my work and purchased this year”

 

“I made contact with a well-known collector featured in Crafts magazine, and she bought a piece from me”

 

“Exceeded my expectations in terms of sales!  Very well advertised indeed.”

“It keeps up my local profile and increases interest in my workshop”
