Art by the Lake art and craft market returns
to Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre
WITH tumbling dunes, vast stretches of
sandy beach and Anthony Gormley's enigmatic sea gazing figures, Waterloo and
Crosby have long attracted people fascinated by both natural beauty and the
artistic impulse. And, on Sunday, 22 May 2016, there'll be yet another artistic
reason to visit as the second Art by the Lake event arrives at Crosby Lakeside
Adventure Centre. Running from 10am until 4pm, this popular art and craft market
will host local independent artists and makers selling a huge range of unique
and inspiring pieces.
Items on sale will include original art,
prints, jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass, preserves and artisan coffees, and
because everything is carefully crafted by hand and made with love, visitors can
be sure of finding things that are that bit out of the ordinary. From great
gifts to that extra special something for the home, Art by the Lake makes it
easy to pick up the kind of art and crafts that you never find on the high
street!
Art by the Lake is organised by Tracey
Nichols, who explains just what makes the event so special. "The 1st Art
by the Lake was a great success and so we just had to return to this amazing
venue as soon as we could. Once again we've got some really wonderful artists
and makers lined up, including the colourful creations of Mollycat Craft Co.,
stunning handmade pieces by Dee Wood Jewellery, a first visit by 10 Magnolia
Lane who make exquisite baby bedding, delicate ceramics from Martha's Grandad,
Coffeebean and Tealeaf with their fabulous roasted coffee beans and organic
teas… the list goes on! And don't forget that we're right by the marine lake and
there's a bistro next door, so a visit to Art by the Lake makes a wonderful
afternoon out for anyone who loves a little art in their lives."
As well as offering a great opportunity to buy stunning arts and crafts, Art by
the Lake will also be raising money for the Campaign Against Living Miserably.
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45, and with Tracey herself suffering
the loss of her husband to suicide in 2014, she is keen to raise as much as
possible through donations and raffles at the event. So not only is it a chance
to browse, buy and chat with makers from around the region, it's all in a good
cause too.
