The Winter Kist
27 & 28 November 2020
Exhibitors part two
Join us for this digital event hosted through The Kist Facebook page.
As The Winter Kist is unable to take place in it's usual format, we invite you to join us for an interactive couple of evenings with our 25 exhibitors showcasing some of the best art, craft, food and drink from Dumfries and Galloway and beyond.
Learn about their unique products through 'meet the maker' sessions, watch demos and enjoy virtual tours of premises.
With exhibitor events cancelled, we hope you will be able to support these artisan businesses by making a purchase or two.

WeeMake
"WeeMake creates needle felted items and needle felted kits. We have also recently started creating our very own prints and cards. Needle felting is the art of creating a sculpture with 100% wool fibres with a barbed needle - pieces can take many hours to create and every sculpture is different.
I am a great believer in crafting and creating being the way forward for the well-being world and needle felting fits this perfectly. Our kits include everything you need to complete your very own project - wool, needles, foam mat and of course step by step instructions with pictures. We will be holding work shops in the (hopefully) not too distant future. In the mean time happy felting and stay safe."
