~ HANDMADE FOR CHRISTMAS <strong>2019</strong> ~<br />

A glorious mix of unique and beautiful gifts<br />

from local designers, artists and makers<br />

Is it a gallery? Is it a gift shop? Is it a craft fair?<br />

No! It’s two months of Christmas shopping heaven.<br />

????? DO YOU VALUE ?????<br />

* Superb craftsmanship and design *<br />

* The beautiful, unusual and unique *<br />

* Local enterprise *<br />

* Sitting by a roaring fire with a cup of something warming *<br />

* A chat and a laugh *<br />

* Good company *<br />

Then this is most definitely the place (and time) for you.<br />

For just two months each year this unassuming little Victorian Chapel<br />

metamorphoses into a glowing beacon of hope for all those who quail at the<br />

thought of the dreaded Christmas shopping trip. Dozens of very talented local<br />

elves and elfesses have been toiling all year in their workshops to make the most<br />

perfect hand-crafted gifts for those on your list (and I’m absolutely certain you<br />

deserve a little something for yourself as well).<br />

If you would like to know more about what goes on in the WC (yes! I know) for the<br />

rest of the year, please visit the website and sign up to the monthly(ish) newsletter.<br />

Welcome to the eighth HANDMADE FOR CHRISTMAS!<br />

<strong>H4C</strong> is growing up fast - eight already!! We’ve lost our milk teeth and now have<br />

a full set of proper grown up incisors, canines and molars. It’s alright - we don’t<br />

bite, but we will be doing an alarming amount of smiling with them ;-) We really<br />

hope you’ll join in with our childlike happiness and fun - after all, ’tis the season to<br />

be jolly ’n’ all that! Spread the word – tell all your friends – better still, bring them<br />

along! See you in Chapel!<br />

Going Green<br />

Why not give a<br />

Handmade for Christmas<br />

Gift Token?<br />

Or leave a wish list with us,<br />

so your family can buy<br />

you something you<br />

REALLY want<br />

;-)))<br />

Here at the Workhouse<br />

Chapel we are doing our very<br />

best to reduce the use of plastic in<br />

packaging (and lots of other places too!).<br />

Any bubble wrap we use is either on its<br />

second go round, or it’s biodegradable.<br />

We use recycled paper bags and tape and<br />

will be trialling a new, totally recycled<br />

and recyclable packing system.<br />

Most of us even put our greetings<br />

cards in compostable<br />

cellulose wrappers.<br />

Allow me to introduce the team<br />

Yep! That’s me with the glasses - I’m Rose and Handmade for<br />

Christmas is my baby… well actually more of a ravening, out of<br />

control eight year old!! I like to pretend I’m in charge - please<br />

don’t disillusion me…<br />

Then there’s Bob, my long-suffering, neither better nor worse, other<br />

half. He keeps the wood pile well-stocked and feeds the enormous<br />

wood-burner (which, coincidentally, is also a ravening eight year old),<br />

so you have him to thank for the warmth and cosiness. You’ll be<br />

lucky to catch a glimpse of him, as he tends to get sent home<br />

for bad behaviour ;-)<br />

And let’s not forget the team of lovely, willing, helpful Elves -<br />

they’ll be oh-so-happy to help you with your shopping, get you<br />

a cup of something warming and generally be cheerily useful.<br />

I simply couldn’t manage without them.<br />

Last year!<br />

At one year old...<br />

My how<br />

we’ve grown!!<br />

And now… prepare to MEET YOUR MAKERS!<br />

First of all, a huge, sparkly Handmade for Christmas welcome to our 12 *NEW*<br />

exhibitors this year and congratulations to the 9 originals who have stuck<br />

with us as we’ve grown. Remember to keep an eye open for the Workshop<br />

symbol - - you could learn something exciting and new! All of our enormously<br />

talented, and mostly local, invited makers are carefully selected, based on the<br />

quality of their craftsmanship, eco-credentials, originality, price, and how much I<br />

think you’ll like their work. Our aim is a to bring you a diverse and delightful range<br />

of well-priced, hand-crafted, locally made, completely original gifts. They’re a<br />

pretty special bunch - read more about them in the centre spread - and together<br />

they make Handmade for Christmas a truly unique event.<br />

Oh and did I mention that they’re Accidentally Green? (see page 21)<br />

More about the exhibitors and their Accidental Green-ness<br />

Each year I ask the exhibitors to fill in a questionnaire, and those of you who’ve<br />

seen this little Directory in past years will be familiar with their holiday habits,<br />

how they like their potatoes cooked, their Christmas trees decorated and which<br />

is their favourite dunking biscuit. This year I’ve delved deeper into what fills them<br />

with pride and what drives them. I’m completely thrilled, but not surprised, to<br />

announce that their underlying motives are true, good and deeply honourable.<br />

They are driven by a desire to save old crafts, to preserve and conserve our<br />

environment, to be the best they can be and to make the best they can make.<br />

They are proud of their children, proud that they can make a living from what<br />

they love doing best and that what they do brings so much pleasure to others.<br />

And as for their eco credentials… well I just had to write a<br />

poem to celebrate their unwitting excellence!<br />

The Tale of the Chapel Chicken<br />

Once upon a Handmade for Christmas there was a bad Mr Fox<br />

(well not really bad - it’s just the nature of a fox to be a little bit wicked)<br />

who caught a poor unsuspecting chicken, planning to take her home to<br />

Mrs Fox for their supper. BUT, as Mr Fox passed the Workhouse Chapel,<br />

the chicken made good her escape and sought sanctuary within.<br />

She now lives happily in the Chapel and spends her time having<br />

more fun than a chicken really should! Keep an eye out for her<br />

outrageous and ill-advised adventures on Facebook<br />

Accidenta<br />

ly Green<br />

When you work with your hands<br />

and invent with your heart<br />

It’s a losing battle to try and stay smart<br />

Strange passions demand stranger fashions<br />

So we recycle, reuse, make do and mend<br />

And folk just think “Artist!”- so bang on trend...<br />

When the frost bites and the east wind<br />

blows cruel<br />

You won’t find us wasting scarce fossil fuel<br />

Three jumpers, two vests, long johns and a hat<br />

A scarf, salopettes and, yes we look fat<br />

And the bulk makes it nigh on impossible<br />

to bend<br />

But hey!<br />

We’re accidentally green - we’re bang on trend.<br />

It’s not that we’re nosy - we’re just keen to know<br />

Where was this clay dug?<br />

Where did that tree grow?<br />

Why is the sea that certain shade of<br />

greeny- blue?<br />

And because we care, we raise awareness too.<br />

It’s how the curious mind has always been -<br />

Turns out that now we’re unwittingly green<br />

We’re a bit of a Womble - always hoping to find<br />

An interesting thing that’s been left behind<br />

By the everyday folk - and then when we do<br />

We break and reshape, remake it anew<br />

And we add to the hoard of useful board<br />

To the sack of wool that’s already full<br />

Pile up the wood that might be good….<br />

We carefully store each odd and end<br />

‘Cos guess what?!!<br />

Yep! we’re green - we’re so on trend<br />

The tools of our trade are well worn and trusted<br />

Talk about patina!- these are encrusted<br />

With history - and memories of craftsmen long<br />

gone<br />

And when our time comes we’ll pass them on<br />

To those that we taught, and the skills will survive -<br />

just maybe they’ll help keep our planet alive<br />

We make because we have to - it’s in our DNA<br />

It’s written in our genes - no choice -<br />

it just won’t go away.<br />

Please don’t try to stop us, if you’re any<br />

kind of friend<br />

Just remember that we’re green and accidentally<br />

bang on trend.<br />
