Maker Faire Day 1

Well, the first day of the Maker Faire is over and what a day we have all had...

The Newcastle Craft Mafia and Made in Newcastle collaborated on supporting the Maker Faire public make use of the everyday things that we discard to create a wonderful array of arm bands, bracelets and neck pieces with the odd great idea of recycled knitted cuffs and bag charms thrown in for good measure!


Leeanne Lowe from Sitting on the wall, Brittania Douglas from Rule Brittania, Christine White from Threadspider Textiles, Lucy Farfort from Lucy's happy place , Joanna Sullivan and Brigid Campbell from Irish Granny all lent a hand to make the day as creative and exiting as possible for all the wonderful visitors we had to our stand...and as you can see by the pictures below, there were many.....

Newcastle Fashion week

Made in Newcastle are looking for people currently not involved in MiN & fashion students/graduates to showcase & sell their handmade fashion etc in the gallery space for Newcastle fashion week 14-21 May. We are now mainly looking for fashion designers (with particular focus on clothing) and fashion illustrators.

The shop will be heavily promoted during this time by organisers of Fashion Wk & MiN and each guest designer will have a feature on blog.

Please contact lucyfarfort@yahoo.com if you're interested in more info. Please note at the moment this opportunity is only for the fashion week.

Made in Newcastle are video stars.

Thanks to Tim's great friend Sam Dibb for making this lovely documentary short of us.
The video really captures the eclectic, creative atmosphere that is Made in Newcastle! Great work.
