Thursday

Craft Central opens its doors for Made in Clerkenwell

Craft Central's bi-annual open studios event welcomes guests in to view and buy craft and design from over 100 different designer-makers. Throughout the year, most makers work behind closed doors. During this event, they welcome visitors with open arms and give them a unique glimpse of their lives in the studio.

Over 100 makers opened their doors to the public.

A delicious complimentary glass of wine.

A live demonstration of Drawing Machine prints.

The staff at Handmade HQ had the wonderful opportunity of exploring the studios and admiring the beautiful handcrafted artwork. As you enter their St. John's Square building you are greeted with a complimentary glass of wine. For those who are not fond of alcoholic beverages, Newby Teas offered a complimentary freshly brewed cup of tea. We loved the Rooibos Orange Tisane flavor!
