Next Thursday evening we will be teaching a crochet class at Craft Guerrilla’s new shop in Wood St Market, in Walthamstow.

And as a special introductory offer you can now bring along a friend, and they only pay half-price for their ticket!

Come and learn how to crochet a flower, and then make it into a greeting card, brooch or gift of your choice.

 

The main class is from 6-8pm on Thursday 29th March, but if you are an absolute beginner and want a little extra time getting your head around the basics we will be available from 5.30 to help you get started.

Price: Tickets are £20 each or 2 for £30 (this includes tea and cake!)

Single tickets available from Craft Guerrilla’s web shop 

To get the offer please email craftguerrilla(at)yahoo.com with the code FRIEND and you will receive a reply with a paypal button for either both tickets or just the second ticket if you have already purchased your own ticket.

Location: Unit 37 Wood Street Indoor Market, 98-100Wood Street

We would love to see you down there, for what we hope will be the first of a series of workshops we will be teaching.

Once you have learnt the basic principles of crochet, we will help you follow patterns (or if you prefer learn how to free-style) as we move from flat shapes to 3D crochet!

 

 

(Just watched a great programme about Simon & Garfunkel on catch-up telly!)

After a ridiculously busy few weeks, this weekend we are returning to our home from home… Of Cabbages & Kings Christmas market in Abney Hall.

(the gorgeous flyer was illustrated by Liz Loveless from Factory Press)

But while we are staying local our stuff will be certainly doing the rounds!

Firstly, it is the second weekend of the Product Of Your Environment pop-up shop (see last entry for more details)

Secondly, after a successful stint at the Create Place last month, we have been asked back to be part of their selection for the Snapshots Christmas market at Richmix in Bethnal Green

and last but by no means least… Sannapanda is taking a trip to the Seaside! Yippee!

We will be appearing at Noel’s Multicoloured Pop-up Shop in the Pie Factory in Margate! (you had me at “Pie”!)

So a big thank you to Caro from Predominantly Print for inviting us to take part!

Sad to be not going in person, hoping to visit in the new year, any excuse to escape to the coast once in a while. Growing up in a seaside town, means I sometimes really miss the bracing sea air and staring out over the waves (the Thames is nice, but its just not the same!)

Anyhow, have yourselves a good weekend, whatever you get up to. xxx

 

 

 

Had a great time last weekend in Stoke Newington, Walthamstow and Hampstead, will try and post some pics of all the events on here soon but in the meantime here is what we are upto this weekend..

Our open studios opened last night and was lovely and busy and warm on such a horrible blustery night!

It is open today until 7pm and Saturday and Sunday form 10am-4pm. For more info go here

Lots of lovely things to see and buy from the collective below

 

 

 

 

 

We will also be returning to Product of Your Environment’s Pop-up Shop in Shoreditch this weekend and next. We were there for the London Design Festival in September and had lots of fun! So I am sure this festive version will be awesome!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if that wasn’t enough for one weekend…

On Saturday we will be at We Make London’s Christmas Event in Battersea Arts Centre, sharing a stall with the lovely Strikk Handknits!

Here is our designer feature on their blog page

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and on Sunday we will have a mini Sannapanda & Friends stall at Crafty Fox at the Dogstar pub in Brixton!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the Festive season is drawing in! Its now exactly 1 month ’til Christmas day!

And I feel its finally time to tell you about all the lovely events we are part of this year! But as I still have tons to get ready for the first one, I will just tell you about this weekend’s events for now to whet your appetite, and then give you a full run-down of December’s markets and shops next week…

So the festivities begin for Sannapanda in Tooting! (toot toot!)

We will be at GotCraft? which will be making its London debut in the Tooting Tram and Social!

Brought to us by the lovely people at lotus events, who have established quite a following over in their Vancouver hometown, with keen craft-lovers queuing up as early as 5am to get one of their Goody bags!

I will be sharing a table with the gorgeous Bridget of BHmakes, and we’ve gone for slightly christmassy, but still a little autumnal look to our display, will post some pics soon.

For more details of who else will be their touting their beautiful wares, see the vendor list here

But if you cannot manage to get that far south, we also have some stock at the Create Place’s Christmas Pop-up Shop in Bethnal Green.

It is just down the road from the Bust Craftacular, that we have been at a few times, but not there this time unfortunately. However there are some fantastic friends of ours who will be there, so do pop along, as I am sure it will be a good as ever!

But don’t forget to swing by the Create Place too if you do, its a mere stone’s throw away, plus it says on the website FREE minces pies and mulled wine! So you can get that christmassy feeling in your belly!

Anyway, have a lovely weekend, whatever you get up to!

But please do say hello if you come and see us in Tooting! xxx
