Unique Crafters

Hi everyone! Haven't written in a long time and that is because I have been sooo busy trying to get an Easter venue for our market. It is not good news - not one of the places I went for are available!!!! also it has been hard getting people to put down a definate YES to being in the Market. Not enough crafters, foodies or entertainers. So! there will be no Easter Market. Very sad!!
We have made the decision to hold off on any markets for the Winter and start again in the Summer. I will write a few posts to let you know what is happening during this time because I do have some new ideas which I am working on - exciting ones if I can pull them off! So stay in touch. Have a nice winter Burr!
And see you soon!

Hi everyone! Valentine's day Market was cancelled. So sad! Since then I have been working on a new venue for our next market at Easter. The walkway over the river from the Trafalgar Hall didn't get the OK from the Council. So I have been trying to find other venues. Have put in another request for council land by the Trafalgar Centre. Where the Wedesday Farmers' Market is held but for the Easter Saturday. If that does't pan out I have another one to look at. Please cross your fingers that we are lucky.

To all Artists and Crafters. Could you please look at my page United Crafters. (not Unique Crafters - United Crafters)
I have started a Petition to try and raise our standing in the Market place/Economy of our country.
We as workers are not getting paid the true value of our work. Product coming into the country from 1/3 countries under the Free Trade Agreement has cut us off at the knees. We are now a service country and all our shops are selling items that are not Made in New Zealand. We need a collective voice to make ourselves heard.
Please join and get others to join and maybe we can do some good.

We are planning on having an outdoor Market at Easter but this is dependernt on the Nelson City Council allowing us to use some of their land. Lots of hoops to go through so I hope we get it approved in time. It will be 3 times bigger than our smaller markets and if the day is fine should be a great event,

Sad to say that our Valentine's market will not be going ahead. One of my partners has had a bad accident and cannot help out and being in a wheelchair I am unable to do much myself. My other partner cannot bear the brunt of the work by herself. And unfortunately we don't have enough crafters to make it profitable. SO! Sorry people. I have been making lots of items for Valentine's so I feel gutted that they will be surplus to requirements. Lovely stuff too! But look at the post about Easter. The sun still shines

Don't forget that I have put up our past crafters on our page with their contact details so you can get in touch directly to purchase their work. Do so as we need to support our crafters to claw back our market economy here in NZ. Our crafters work is maybe more expensive than stuff bought in from 1/3 world countries but it is better made and will last much longer.
Suppport NZ made!!

I'm busy making craft for the Valentine's Market. Hope there are crafters out there in the Nelson/Tasman region who doing the same and want to join our Market. Please get in touch to save a place as I already have people putting their names in.
A proportion of your work must be Valentine related.

Unique Crafters Valentine's Craft Market, This is going to be a wonderful Valentine’s Craft ..., Trafalgar Hall, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman, 10 February 201

We need more crafters to be part of our Valentine's market so if you are one, get in touch with me - Bettina on [email protected]

Photos required please and then I will do a visual check on the quality of your work.

The theme is of course for Valentine's Day so a proportion of your work needs to be directed around that.

Nelson has some great crafters as we have seen at our previous markets and many of them. So I expect lots of replies to this post. The crafters must be from the Nelson/Tasman area.

If you are starting out or more experienced you are welcome.

Get cracking crafters and give me your best.

Don't ask me why the changed logo for Unique Crafters is over the Valentine's market one. Have tried to change it but cannot do. Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

I don't know why our Valentine's Market has got repeated but there it is.
Hope people can attend as I know it will be a great day.
Read the information about the Market and pass the message on.
