midwintery market warmth

Bring on the markety goodness! Some months it's so good to know that the Con Artists Market swings back around so fast, and it being the Winter Solstice it's been a very busy month in the world of out and about, art, craft and making.  We're looking forward to another lovely day in the sun, live music from the Conservatorium's cushion ConCert and lots of Lismore folk and friends out and about.

We're excited to have a few new stallholders on board for the next market on July 2nd - it's always great to see a couple of new faces and fresh products.  That said, many of our existing stallholders have been working on new treasures, so there will be all sorts of new and lovely to check out.  If you're a keen crafter and have been wanting to get involved with the markets do get in touch - the Con Artists Markets are a lot about providing a platform for new and emerging makers as well as those who are already established.  We'd love to hear from you  - our email address is on the right hand margin, or you can come and see one of the organisers at the next market.

While you're here you might want to scroll down and read our last post - we did an interview with the uber talented Alan Ussher.  Al is super inspiring because he relies on his making to survive - definitely great impetous to keep making and continually refine your crafting. We'll be doing more interviews with our makers as time goes, so keep an eye out for more of the in the future.

The line-up for the cushion concert on Saturday July 2nd is:

11.00am: Mr Speaker (Hip hop/Funk)

11.55am: Thrillbilly Stomp (Bluegrass/folk duo)

12.50pm: Andrea Soler Band (Pop/Folk singer songwriter

It's gonna be good - see you there xxx
