We are happy to say that all the tables are now booked up for the Cambridge fair!
We have a great selection of handmade products on offer and I am happy we are able to offer such variety to all the visitors to the fair.
If you missed out on a table please email us at cambridge@handmadecraftfairs.co.uk to be added to the waiting list, we'll let you know if we have any cancellations and you are next on the list.
To get involved in the fair without being a stallholder you can help us fill our goodie bags, which will be given to the first 200 visitors on the day. Also we'd love it if you could visit the fair too!

Meet the Maker - The Lapwing Printworks
Today we are featuring Jon and Sarah of The Lapwing Printworks. The couple who are based in Norwich make very unique hand pulled prints, lino cuts, wood cuts and wood engravings.
They have also recently branched out into letterpress and so now sell stationery too.
"We've always been interested in printmaking but it was only when we moved in together that we had the space to start creating our own prints." says Jon, "We sell our work online in our Etsy and Folksy shops and our website allows us to take on commissions. "
"What we love most about our work is first glimpse of a new print when the paper is first peeled back – after several hours planning and carefully cutting the image, it's very exciting to see the first proof!" says Sarah.
"In the future we'd like to do more collaborative prints together, as well as expanding our range of letterpress stationery."
You can visit The Lapwing Printworks at Handm@de Cambridge and also you can see their work online via the links below:

Charity Table
Just to let you all know we will be giving a table to the Blue Cross animal adoption charity.
They have a centre in Cambridge which rehomes cats and rabbits.
They will be at the fair raising money for their cause and giving out information on rehoming and animal welfare.
Blue Cross will also be raffling off handmade prizes, donated by our stallholders.
We hope to raise lots of money for the Blue Cross and welcome any donations of items from our stallholders and also hope that our visitors come and support the stall on the day.
For more information, see the Blue Cross Cambridge website.

Meet the Maker - PennyDog Accessories
Kerry of PennyDog Accessories is our first 'Meet the Maker' feature for the Cambridge fair.
Kerry makes jewellery which incorporates resin and recycled materials which results in a very unique look. She uses everything from fabric scraps to polymer clay, bubble wrap and cake toppers.
"I was doing a few bookings as an events photographer at university balls and I wanted to offer something different to the prints on sale, I looked into making photographic jewellery. I completely accidently stumbled upon resin as a way of coating the images and it took over! Now I photograph (and sell) other things incased in resin," says Kerry.
The other very special thing about Kerry's work is that £1 from every sale is donated to the Retired Greyhound Trust. The name PennyDog comes from her very own dog who was adopted by Kerry via the Retired Greyhound Trust. "Penny needed a lot of medical care and the trust paid for it all. This is a small way of thanking them and helping other dogs in the future," says Kerry.
Kerry sells her work at several locations including Etsy and Folksy and also via her own website www.penny-dog.co.uk.
You can also come and see Kerry's work at the Handmade fair in April - she will also be signing copies of her book 'Create Your Own Resin Jewellery' which will be available to buy on her stall.

Send us Your Stuff!
At the last Oxford fair we collected goodie bags chock full with gorgeous handmade promotional items, business cards, vouchers and other goodness. These were given out to the first 200 people visiting the fair and were extremely well received!
We will be doing the same for all the Handm@de fairs and we have begun collecting for the Cambridge fair (as well as the Winchester and Oxford fairs too) and we are asking for your items!
Whether you are an exhibitor or not we would like to receive your goodies. It can be a few small samples of your work, business cards, money off vouchers, postcards, pin badges - anything that shows of your handmade work! We do stress that quality is more important than quantity.
There is more information on what to send in the Flickr group, please do read the announcement carefully, we want to make sure all the promotional items make it into our bags so it is important they are carefully packaged, sent on time and sent to the right person! Katie of Twinklyspangle organised our bags last time, and being a sucker for punishment, she will be co-ordinating this once more!
