The Designers/Makers at The Winter Festival

Held at London’s Southbank Centre, The Designers/Makers Christmas Market was jam-packed with brilliant makes and lovely makers. Choosing handmade couldn’t have been easier: as far as the crafty eye could see there were colourful and individual pieces you could get your crafty mitts on.

For those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s just a little bit of what (and who) we spotted at the Designers/Makers event:
