~ 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 />

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 />

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 />
