Mikaela Male, HLAA chair, said: “Despite the icy and windy weather there was still a good turnout to the Winter Craft Market, held at the Helensburgh Sailing Club on Saturday, December 13.

“There was a host of crafts available including textiles, greetings cards, jewellery, artwork and wood crafted items, all of which were created by the talented HLAA members from the local community.” Members who exhibited were as follows: Another Man’s Treasure, Asking For Trouble, By D’Arcy, Cafe Craft, Callyknit, Cheeky Frog Cards, D’Arcy Art, Dot Craft, Gudrun Stitches, Handmade With Love, Hiya Pal!, Jules & Rose, Kelpie Handmade Gifts, Mindarla Design, The Sparkle Gift Company, and Victoria McQueen Art.

Mikaela added: “We hope that the local community continues to show such support and appreciation of the wonderful arts and crafts being created within the area with our monthly Craft Markets commencing in February 2015.” For more information about the association visit www.HelloArtisans.org.uk or visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HelloArtisans.
