Herts Visual Arts at Living Crafts 2024

Living Crafts, Hatfield Park, Thursday 9 - Sunday 12 May 2024

Well, this is the BIG ONE!  Living Crafts are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of this event with a very special show and we’ve been invited to be part of it.

ABOUT LIVING CRAFTS

Living Crafts is firmly established as a leading UK craft event that is always popular with HVAF members.  It attracts visitors from across the country to enjoy the show’s unique shopping experience and thriving festival atmosphere.  It features handmade British craft and design at its best and we will join hundreds of other professional craftsmen and women showcasing the finest work, and offering an abundance of fascinating demonstrations and hands-on activities. 

There will be special features to celebrate our 50th Anniversary and National craft organisations will be taking part for this anniversary event. Visitors can choose from dozens of different workshops taking place each day and with over 1,500 people taking part in a workshop last year, we expect a great uptake.  Living Crafts is set in beautiful parkland and makes a great day out for all serious craft enthusiasts.  We already have over 25 coaches booked and sales of advance tickets have just gone live.

HVAF AT LIVING CRAFTS

HVAF has once again been invited to take part!  

We’ll be provided with a 6m x 6m frame tent to promote HVAF, YOU and YOUR work.  

This opportunity is provided free of charge in return for practical demonstrations by our members.  Artwork can be sold, subject to a 15% commission on sales made and orders taken at the event, payable by 1 June 2024.

Each day we will have six different members taking part, and will be allocated a 6’ table and a grid wall panel.  The focus has to be demonstrating or explaining how you make your artworks - but you can also take finished work for sale.

OPPORTUNITIES AT LIVING CRAFTS IN THIS 50th ANNIVERSARY EVENT
