Free market of handmade gifts, original artwork and contemporary crafts by emerging local makers at the National Waterfront Museum.
Young Creatives Market is coming to the National Waterfront Museum on Sunday 6 December, from 12pm to 3pm. It's a midday gathering of emerging makers and artists from across the area, all under one roof for a few hours.
What you'll find on the tables is a fair spread of handmade gifts, original artwork, contemporary crafts and seasonal creations. It's a good place to pick up something one-off rather than something off a shelf, and since it's early December, it works as a spot for Christmas shopping if you're looking for something a bit more thoughtful than the usual high street. The makers are emerging, so you're seeing work from people still finding their feet rather than established names.
One of the better things about a market like this is that the people behind the work are actually there. You can look at what's on display and then turn around and talk to the person who made it, which is a nice change from buying something and never knowing who put it together. It's as much about meeting the makers as it is about the things they're selling, and it's a straightforward way to support local talent while you're at it.
