Handmade Britain is a brilliant platform, supporting skilled crafters and designers from across the UK and provides a unique opportunity for artists to show off their contemporary collections to an engaging audience.This is the very first time Handmade Britain has brought the show to Edinburgh, having successfully established the well renowned Handmade Britain shows at both Chelsea and Kew Gardens.Set in the wonderfully striking and awe-inspiring interiors of The Hub on Edinburgh's iconic Royal Mile, this showcase of beautiful British Craft is an exhibition not to be missed.This morning I have been excitedly setting up my exhibition space with my Mairi Helena velvet cushions, wallpapers and lampshades as well as my silk scarves and accessories as seen below.
Here's my stand mid flow, in preparation for the show opening evening....
