~ Handmade for Christmas 2017 ~ A glorious mix of unique and beautiful gifts from local designers, artists and makers Is it a gallery? Is it a gift shop? Is it a craft fair? No! It’s two months of Christmas shopping heaven. ????? Do you value ?????
Superb craftsmanship and design… The beautiful, quirky and unique… Local enterprise… Sitting by a roaring fire with a cup of something warming… A chat and a laugh… Good company… Then this is most definitely the place (and time) for you. For just two months each year this unassuming little Victorian Chapel metamorphoses into a glowing beacon of hope for all those who quail at the thought of the dreaded Christmas shopping trip. Dozens of very talented local elves and elfesses have been toiling all year in their workshops to make the most perfect hand-crafted gifts for those on your list (and I’m absolutely certain you deserve a little something for yourself as well). If you would like to know more about what goes on in the WC (yes! I know) for the rest of the year, please visit the website and sign up to the monthly(ish) newsletter.

Now we are six! When I was one, I had just begun. When I was two, I was nearly new. When I was three, I was hardly me. When I was four, I was not much more. When I was five, I was just alive. But now I am six, I’m as clever as clever. So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.
A.A. Milne
From my earliest days this has been one of my very favourite poems and it’s definitely how I feel about Handmade 2017; this year’s Handmade does feel as though it’s come of age in some way. I’m not at all sure that I want it to become much more ‘grown-up’! For 2017 we are open for a massive 60 days – every day of November and December, barring Christmas Day itself - and have more exhibitors than ever before. There doesn’t seem to be much opportunity for growing any further, so perhaps we will, as Christopher Robin wished he could, ‘be six now for ever and ever’. How exciting! As ever, the trusty team of Chapel elves will be standing by to make you welcome and to help in any way they can. Spread the word – tell all your friends – better still, bring them along! See you in Chapel ;-)

~Gift Tokens, Workshops & Wish Lists~ Ever wondered what to give your Christmas guests and, even more difficult, what to do with them on Boxing Day? Well… Why not give them H4C Gift Tokens on the Big Day, then bring them along to Handmade for Christmas in the week between Christmas and New Year to spend them? 2 problems solved in one fell swoop! Hurrah!!! Why not treat yourself, or someone on your list, to a workshop? Vouchers for Rose’s feltmaking workshops (and maybe a few others) will be available during H4C. Ever wished that Father Christmas would bring you something you really wanted this year? Why not visit H4C and make a wish list of all your favourite goodies? We will keep it safely so that your family and friends can be sure of buying something you will love. Looks like that’s a third problem solved. “I want some crackers, And I want some candy; I think a box of chocolates Would come in handy; I don’t mind oranges, I do like nuts! 4
And I SHOULD like a pocket-knife that really cuts. And, oh! Father Christmas, if you love me at all, Bring me a big, red India-rubber ball!”

Okey dokey! Let’s get on with the introductions!! I’m Rose… the one with the colourful glasses. I’m supposed to be in charge, but I’ll leave you to make your own mind up about that one…… Then there’s my long-suffering husband Bob – he makes sure there’s enough wood to keep the fire in the manner to which it has become accustomed. You may not see much of him, as he tends to get banned for bad behaviour!!! ;-) And let’s not forget the team of lovely, willing, helpful elves – they’ll be oh-so-happy to help you with your shopping, get you a cup of tea/coffee and generally be cheerily useful. And now…….. prepare to meet your makers! How to sort and categorise this rather odd bunch? A gently meandering path through the various disciplines seems to work just fine, starting with textiles, then jewellery, metal and wood, ceramics and glass, leather, paint and print. 14 exhibitors are brand-sparkly * NEW * to Handmade this year – a huge welcome to them – some are (but not in a Levi’s jeans kind of way) and deserve a medal. Most are from within a 40 mile radius of the Chapel; a few are exotic ‘outsiders’ who add diversity to the mix. Many offer workshops w - these are listed in ‘Workshops and Courses’ on p41. All have been carefully selected and invited to take part, so ensuring that Handmade brings you the very best in fantastic quality and value. Together they make Handmade for Christmas a truly unique event. www.workhousechapel.co.uk | rose@rosehatcher.co.uk | 07900 580716

~ FAQs ~ Is the Chapel open like this all year? No. The wonderful array of goodies you see in Handmade for Christmas is here for an all-too-brief two months each year. As the year’s clock strikes twelve, the Chapel will revert to being Rose’s workshop/studio.
What happens here for the rest of the year? 1. Rose works here throughout the year, taming colourful wool and silk fibres into beautiful textural pictures of flowers, moorland, cliffs and beaches. Her work is usually on display, but there are no regular opening hours. Please ring to make an appointment. 2. Feltmaking Classes – listed on the website. 3. Other exhibitions and events (see back cover).
If I need to return or exchange an item after H4C has closed, what do I do? Don’t panic!! Contact Rose on 07900 580716 or rose@rosehatcher.co.uk and she will help you get things sorted.
I’d love to be part of Handmade for Christmas – what should I do? There is no application process for H4C - all exhibitors are here by invitation. The work is carefully selected to provide the broadest possible choice and best value for visitors. If your work meets H4C’s high standard of craftsmanship and design and you live/work within 40 miles of Sturminster Newton, please email Rose with images and details of what you do.

~The 2017 Exhibitor Survey Results~ Early Bird or Night Owl? Half of our makers/artists are night owls and just a third are early birds. The rest burn their candles at both ends.
Pie or Pasta? 50% prefer pasta, 30% like pie and 20% are really greedy and want pasta pie.
Seaside or Mountains for your holidays? 57% love being by the sea, 25%
are at home in the mountains and the rest just adore moorland, farmland, woods and rivers. Most of us holiday under canvas.
Lemon Drizzle, Chocolate Brownie, Fruit Cake or Profiteroles? Perfectly equal split, although Caroline is adamant she wants Coffee and Walnut and Becca insists on Red Velvet cake… Everyone agrees that cake makes the world go round. Favourite potato variety – Jersey Royals come out tops, beating Maris Piper into a poor second place. But, if we combine the Maris Piper and King Edward vote, it reinforces last year’s finding that roasting is THE way to go potatowise… Half of our makers are totally obsessed with correct grammar, syntax and spelling - 10% coodnt careless and the remainder have problems with apostrophe’s. 80% would not trust an on-line diary. Our taste in music is as varied as our taste in fine literature and most improvise wildly in the kitchen (pictures on a postcard please!) So... I must happily conclude (ooh sorry – did I just split an infinitive there?!) that we have not added a great deal to last year’s research, the conclusion of which was that most of us would rather be on holiday, camping by the sea, eating roast potatoes and cake. It’s reassuring to know that nothing really changes…. www.workhousechapel.co.uk | rose@rosehatcher.co.uk | 07900 580716
