Stitch St Ives - Crafters Show

Stitch St Ives - Crafts for Crafters Show

---

Stitch St Ives is a new Crafts for Crafters show coming to St Ives in March.

A show with a difference - this is not a traditional "Craft Show" with finished items - St Ives already has more than enough of these.

The focus is on materials - what craftspeople and artists need to produce their work.
Some of which may be available to buy online - but hard to find "on the ground" in West Cornwall.
Many lovingly hand-made and Made In Cornwall.

Fabrics - Yarns - Beads - Buttons - Wool - Felt - Fleece - Handmade Paper - lots more ......
