…we have our dates for this year’s Winter Arts Market.
So are you ready with a pen and your shiny new diary?
It’ll happen all over again on Sat 7 & Sun 8 December 2013.
You can expect more of the magic, beautiful crafts, christmassy feeling, food and festivities as last year, and perhaps maybe more…
See our pics below to whet your appetite!
Phew! What a weekend!
We thought you might like to see some snaps from the Winter Arts Market – there are lots more to follow, but in the meantime we’d just like to say a big thank you to:
- the very talented artists, designers and makers who exhibited and sold their work
- the thousands of people that came along to enjoy and support creatives from across the region.
- the brilliant people behind the scenes who make St George’s Hall a truly magnificent venue
- the impressive mix of performing artists who moved and delighted audiences in the Crown Court Room programmed by the marvelous Mellowtone
- KECS Creative for the children’s magical antler workshop
- the roaming historical characters of Lormac Productions
- our tremendous helper Anna Cahill!
- and all of our very supportive colleagues, friends and families.
Join us next year for the Winter Arts Market – 7 & 8 December 2013.

Twigtwisters aka Sarah Gallagher-Hayes from Cheshire, creates impressive handmade willow sculptures of animals and people. Different colours of willow are combined, to make everything from willow stars and hearts to robins, stag’s heads, dogs and cats!
Hopefully you won’t miss Sarah’s amazing life size willow stag at the Winter Arts Market this weekend at St George’s Hall Liverpool, as featured in our latest press photograph below! Cool huh?
If you are looking for something just that bit different and imaginative this Christmas, Sarah’s work will be available on both days of this year’s event.

Liverpool’s Katherine Caldwell produces beautiful organic pieces of children’s gift clothing, each featuring her own charming illustrations. The clothing is all organic and screen-printed onto tees, sleep-suits and bibs. Katherine will also have framed or unframed prints of her designs, as well as cards, at this year’s Winter Arts Market!
The illustrated characters in Katherine’s designs also come with stories about each of the characters, these are all printed inside each special gift box. All ready to give as the perfect gift!
In addition Katherine will be launching her unique Liver Bird designtees on her stall (see image below). Well worth checking out for anyone looking for a very special Mersey themed gift!
Liverpool artist Keith Francis Smith works mainly in watercolour, and has been described in Artist and Illustrators magazine as a ‘Master of Watercolour’. We concur! His paintings pack in a lot of detail, and are all architecturally correct. We love this one of our wonderful venue, St George’s Hall:
At this year’s Winter Arts Market (on Saturday only) you’ll be able to see many of his paintings of Liverpool buildings and parks, and you can be among the first to see his new work depicting the City of Chester. The paintings capture the beauty and elegance of both cities and are a real treat.
You can buy original watercolours and also limited edition prints which are always very popular and make for excellent gifts!
Purlesque is a home of craft, knitting and handmade! Setup by Susan and Jane in 2006, their shop is based inside POP Boutique on Whitechapel, but Purlesque will also pop-up at the Winter Arts Market again this year, and we’re delighted to have them on board!
With a passion for knitting, crochet and textiles and a love of all things vintage, Susan and Jane make unique hand-crafted items for the individual and for the home.
If you’re looking to find that very special Christmas gift, Purlesque are definitely worth checking out!
If you can’t make it to the event this time (and why heavens not?!) you can always find Purlesque upstairs at Pop Boutique 58 Whitechapel, Liverpool, L1 6EG all year round…
Remember folks… crafts aren’t just for Christmas!
