The Renegade Craft Fair London

 

 

So back in October I popped along to the Renegade Craft Fair on London’s Brick Lane to check out their first offering on UK soil. I know, I know this blog post is four whole months overdue (I’m not even going to try and explain what’s taken me so long).

I have to make a full disclosure now that I was just a little bit excited about this, as this particular craft fair has been on my ‘must attend’ list for years. I’ve always wanted to make it to the San Francisco Renegade Craft Fair, but my holidays have never quite lined up with the dates.

The Fair was held in the Old Truman Brewery, a lofty-industrial space, that’s very easy to miss unless you know where your going. It wasn’t quite as big as I’d hopped it would be, however I my fingers are crossed that next year it will expand and be even bigger. This year it was testing the water and hopefully next year it will start to get somewhere near the size of the ones they hold in the US. Size aside, it really did have a lovely selection of vendors selling some incredible crafts.

I tried to photograph some of my stand out favoutires including Jim Bob Art (the amazing painted bear plates with El Guapo on!) and Hazel Stark.

(I know this post is 4 months late, however I had it draft for so long that I thought I’d go ahead and share the pictures anyway….)
