✨ Seller Spotlight: Nicky – The Happy Silver Company ✨

First up in our Summer Fair countdown is the wonderful Nicky from The Happy Silver Company.

Nicky is not only one of our talented shop sellers, she’s also a workshop tutor here at The Crafters Collective CIC, and you’ll often find her helping out in the shop on a Tuesday morning.

Working with silver clay, Nicky creates beautiful handcrafted jewellery, including unique pendants, earrings, rings, cufflinks and keyrings – each piece made with real care and attention to detail.

We’re so lucky to have her as part of our creative community, and we can’t wait for you to see more of her work at the Summer Fair on Saturday 11th July.

Between now and Saturday 11th July, we’ll be introducing you to the amazing makers, artists and crafters joining us this year.

We’ve got a carefully selected line-up of local sellers, plus hands-on children’s crafts, live demonstrations, a tombola and our ever-popular craft destash.

Starting tomorrow, we’ll be spotlighting one seller each day so you can get to know the talented people behind the stalls.

If he loves motorbikes then he'll love local artist (and ex-biker) Brian Sapsford's pictures of classic bikes. Maybe, he used to own one or has memories of them. Either way they make great gifts that can be enjoyed for years to come.
