Karen’s vibrant floral artwork is created using alcohol ink pens along with drops of neat alcohol to give an ethereal effect to her designs.
I’m sure many of you will recognise Karen as a regular stallholder at Tissington Craft Fair.

The Peak District is a great influence in Phil’s work and features in many of the prints, cards and jigsaw puzzles you will see on his stall.
Phil has been a popular maker at a number of our previous markets and you may also be familiar with his work, which is displayed in many prominent locations across the Peak District.
Monday 1st April
Avocado Handmade - Gerry has been running her environmentally conscious business since 2018 and is always looking for new ways to help people to reduce their household waste. Her range of reusable products now include un-paper towels, food wraps, panty liners, hankies and make up remover pads to name just a few.
Laurien Smith Art - Laurien works on her art business part time alongside her role as a primary school teacher. As a keen nature lover, she enjoys discovering unusual birds and observes different species whilst out in her garden or walking in the Peak District. Her detailed watercolour artwork brings these beautiful creatures to life on prints, cards and coasters.
