Face painting, Hula Hooping, Hopskotch, Truckloads of board games and card games to play, Origami Corner, Draw on the Door Competitions, 80's classic movies, Atari gaming on the big screen, live music, Tuck Shop lucky dip sweet bags from Fizzy Wizzy Woo, Ice creams available from McCoys Arccade as well as an amazing array of local indie art makers!
Good Old Life!
Here are some more people who'll be joining us! Take a peek at our previous post to find out more!..
The marvelous Josie Maskell - illustrator, designer and maker currently studying at Plymouth Uni, We saw some of Josie's work at BABE this year then bumped into her once again at the Give Up Your Day Job Fair in Plymouth and were pretty impressed by the work! Come down on Saturday and see for yourself!
We are delighted to be joined by ol' familiars Guy Millon and Hannah Mumby organisers of the oracular spectacular that is Butterscotch Sunday - they'll be raising funds for local charity The Magic Carpet and hosting the magical Origami Corner! I'm not sure what they are making but you can bet your cotton socks it will be ingenious, wonderful and mesmerising! Also chat to them about their upcoming screenings of Mulholland Drive and Fantastic Mr Fox each with a sweet and salty Butterscotch twist!
The brilliant Spirit Forge will no doubt be on the hunt for a poker palying elf this week as they prepare to join us for the mighty games! We love you guys! Thanks for being there every time wth your fascinating array of wiccan inspired indie arts! Last month Abi painted some great watercolour pieces for the day - keep on the look out her little treasures!
