The Makery, Shropshire

1st September to the 31st October

Gallery level, Shrewsbury market hall, Claremont street, Shrewsbury SY13 1HQ

I am delighted to announce that Flotsam Fables will be setting sail for Shropshire this autumn, as I’ve been invited to be a guest artist at The Makery, Shropshire.

From September through October, my little corner of the shop will be brimming with curious creations and magical mischief, greeting cards, limited edition wall pieces, talisman brooches, tote bags, and flotsam poppets will all be waiting to find their rightful homes. If Welsh mythology stirs your heart, you’ll find Melangell at The Makery, her hare by her side, ready to share their tale.

I’m so excited to share a space with such wonderfully talented artists in this beautiful venue, it promises to be a treasure trove for the imagination.
