Craft 2.0 Trunk Show, Friday 16 & 23 December

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Poster for Craft 2.0 Trunk Show, 16 & 23 December, WellingtonCraft2.0 is holding not one but two boutique Christmas craft fairs this year! Bang in the heart of Wellington at the Paramount Cinema on Courtenay Place, the fairs are perfect to venture to after work to find all those special last minute gifts. Drop in and say hello from 6pm till 9pm on Friday 16 and Friday 23 December.

Just as awesome as your standard Craft 2.0 market, the Trunk Show features a hand-picked selection of some of Wellington’s finest craft, art and indie design – and this time the makers are selling from trunks! It’s a perfect opportunity to find those extra special presents that the high street just can’t offer, plus you get to meet the charming makers behind the wares, including Dear Colleen, Miss Millie, The Paper Bird Society, Sweet William, Whskr and The Sewphist. Each fair will have a mix of different sellers so it’s a darn fine idea to drop in to both.

Admission is free and the first 70 visitors on Friday 16 December get a limited edition gift! It’s a cash only fair, but worry not – there are plenty of ATM machines near the Paramount.

Blendy Knits Again

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Cover of Blendy Knits Again

Blendy Knits Again, and this time it’s not just socks!

Grab your needles and your favourite sock yarn, then ponder over which charming pattern to choose from the second book New Zealand knitting designer, Belinda Too (Blendy) has created.

Following on from the success of Blendy Knits Socks, this new book offers 25 patterns to suit just about everyone – cute hats, legwarmers for all ages, delightful fingerless gloves, lace scarves, socks (including larger sizes) and gorgeous cardigans.

The patterns are relatively easy – just clever placement of basic knitting stitches with a few modern twists. And they have been designed with yarn efficiency in mind – you know your project is complete when you have used up all your yarn.

And if you’re in Wellington or Auckland this weekend, you’re invited to Blendy’s book launch! Wellingtonians can head along to the Paramount Theatre on Friday 28 October from 4.30 till 8.30pm for book sales and signing, wool sales from Knitsch and HappyGoKnitty, and drinks at the bar.

Blendy will also be at Craft 2.0 on Saturday from 10am till 4pm in the Chaffers Dock Building Atrium, and then on Sunday, Auckland knitters can find her at Kraftbomb from 11am till 2pm at Grey Lynn Community Centre on Richmond Road.

Happy birthday Craft 2.0! Saturday 23 April

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Craft 2.0, 10am–3pm, Saturday 23 April, Wellington

The queen of all craft fairs returns to the Dowse Art Museum on Saturday and this time, Craft 2.0 is celebrating its 5th birthday! That’s five whole years of fabulous fairs featuring the work of incredibly talented local crafters and designers.

Head along to the Dowse in Lower Hutt from 10am till 3pm on Saturday 23 April for one of New Zealand’s finest selections of premium handmade products, all locally made, from the edible to the wearable. Jewellery, cards, toys, ceramics, baby clothes, cupcakes, t-shirts, hats and bags made with quality materials by individuals who are passionate about their art – even if you’re just browsing, Craft 2.0 is a fabulous day out.

If you’re a regular visitor, you might like to consider becoming a Friend of Craft 2.0 for VIP benefits, including a quarterly newsletter, early entry to the fair and a surprise treat at every Craft 2.0.

As if all this excitement wasn’t enough, this Craft 2.0 also features Wellington’s premiere jam competition. If you consider yourself something of a jam connoisseur, don’t miss the judging of Jam Off 2011 at around 2pm.

The New Zealand craft community and the many thousands of people who have visited Craft 2.0 over the last five years have Sue Tyler to thank for her amazing vision and the massive amount of hard work, energy and love she has put into making it happen. Craft 2.0 has become a destination event for handmade enthusiasts around the country and a hugely supportive platform and community for crafters.

I think I speak for the Felt community in wishing Craft 2.0 a super happy birthday and many more years of awesome fairs, gorgeous craft and of course, cupcakes. Congratulations to Sue and the Craft 2.0 team, and have a wonderful day on Saturday!
