Pop-up North Wales Contemporary Craft Fair – October 2026

Kristina Maleckaite is the maker behind AdFausta, her pieces are a reflection of the connection between each other and our natural worlds. With a free-spirited imagination, she strives to translate conceptual ideas into wearable art. Each piece she creates is an experiment, blending silver, brass, or copper to create unique and one-of a-kind designs.

AdFausta’s jewellery is more than just adornment, it’s a conversation starter – inviting others to explore and interpret the world around them.

Amy makes unique handmade artists books and collages inspired by the natural world.

Amy Fulman from Dots Allowed is a North Wales–based artist and illustrator, creating detailed animal artwork inspired by British wildlife and the natural landscapes around her. Amy’s work combines fine liner stippling (dot work) with watercolour and mixed media to capture both the character and emotion of each subject.

Each piece begins with careful observation, often inspired by fleeting moments in nature, before being built up through thousands of hand-placed dots and expressive layers of paint. This process allows her to create texture, depth, and a sense of life within each animal.

Through her work, she aims to make art that feels both personal and accessible, celebrating the beauty of the natural world in a way that people can connect with, display in their homes, and gift to others.

Emma from E O Ceramics creates hand-built stoneware bottles that translate her intuitive mark making and painted patterns into functional, three-dimensional forms. Each piece explores the relationship between surface and structure, combining expressive decoration with the unique qualities of slab-built ceramics.

Four Letter Studio, the creative practice of UK artist Carl Jones. Specialising in contemporary abstract drawing, experimental printmaking and expressive lettering art, Carl creates bold, intricate compositions that combine structure with flowing creativity. Every piece is a one-off original artwork — never a reproduction or digital print. If you’re looking for unique abstract art in the UK, hand-drawn graphic artwork, or original printmaking with personality, Four Letter Studio offers something truly individual.

‘What do I see? I see books, libraries. Buildings, architecture. I see people. Music, vinyl records. I hear the repetitive beat of a drum, the sound of a synthesiser. And I see words. This all inspires my art and what I print, draw and create.’

Having grown up with a love of textiles and a persistent need to balance hard head-work with handicrafts, Kate from Handfangle finally found her way to weaving post-pandemic and have been making up for lost time ever since. For Kate, it involves an intoxicating blend of painstaking fiddly stuff and creative flow moments, every piece generating more inspiration and ideas about what to try next than she will ever have time to pursue.

Kate weaves on a floor loom at home in Snowdonia, using mostly deadstock yarns in natural materials – predominantly British-milled wool.

At Hazel Bay, David creates homewares and jewellery from foraged hardwood, paired with vibrant resin to highlight the natural character of the material. Each piece preserves the wood’s unique grain and form, combining organic textures with bold colour.

Rooted in the landscape of North Wales, David’s work transforms raw materials into functional, contemporary objects. Every piece is handmade with a focus on craftsmanship, sustainability, and everyday use.

Quirky and colourful ceramics handmade in North Wales.

Laura from Lost in the Wood uses crochet and needle felting to create soft-sculpture pieces which reflect her fascination with anatomy, public health and the natural world. Intended as an engaging way of taking things which are usually hidden or microscopic, and showing them as visible and vibrant. She enjoys subverting the expectations which often accompany textiles, promoting them as a place where art, science, and stories meet.

Mike is a Shropshire -based printmaker, illustrator and graphic designer. His prints are themed around wildlife and the natural environment. Recent works have been heavily influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement.

Caroline is a Liverpool based potter who makes handmade homeware pottery using classic glaze combinations, along with ceramic sculptures on themes of people in water, scenes from holidays remembered and sculptures inspired by celebrations of British folklore. Weaving everyday observations with muddied memories of the past created with warmth and humour.

Glass is Siân’s passion, she loves how light shining through her colourful stained-glass window ornaments brightens up any room, and hopefully brings a little joy and happiness as well!

Using the Tiffany copper foil technique, and mainly inspired by nature, Siân creates a wide variety of glass art. However, she is particularly drawn to making fruit and vegetables with their pleasing shapes and colours.

On starting the creative process, Siân takes great care to select the best combinations of glass colour and texture, with a particular predilection for iridescent glass! before finessing the shapes by grinding, then meticulously foiling, and finally soldering all the pieces together. This can be a painstaking process, but well worth the final eye-catching results.
