Corsock Craft Fair 2024
The splendid event that is Corsock Craft Fair returns this weekend to Corsock Village Hall. The first Sunday of December has become a regular date in the calendar for many of the region’s craftspeople and of course for all those who appreciate beautiful hand-made objects.
Corsock Craft Fair has been a staple of the run up to Christmas for twenty years.
The fair is organised by glass artist Amanda Simmons and potters Doug Fitch and Hannah McAndrew, all Corsock residents themselves. The three have gathered a group of twenty local makers to exhibit at this year’s event and are excited to see the village hall filled with hand-made items and their creators and to welcome in the public to see and hopefully buy the work.
Exhibitors this year will include jeweller Natalie Vardey, illustrator Lucy Hadley, glass blower Christine Milne, and funky pants and slippers by Vicki from Standingstone Hill Sewing. Sarah Ade will be representing the Afghan Schools Trust with glorious handmade carpets. There will be slipware ceramics by Doug Fitch and Hannah McAndrew, kiln formed glass by Amanda Simmons and spoons, ladles and chopping boards from The Handmade Craft House.

This is a lovely way to support the incredible, thriving community of craftspeople that live and work in Dumfries and Galloway.
Corsock Craft Fair happens on Sunday 1st December. 11am till 3pm.
Entry fee £1, includes tea and cake. Don’t forget to bring cash as not all the makers can take cards.
