When the weather turns chilly and the heating’s turned up why not use the excuse to stay indoors and try some new design and print ideas. We have been busy here at Xpres Craft put together some great winter pieces…. Go on, be inspired this winter by us! 

A month on and we're still sad that the Handmade Festival can't happen every weekend! To say us guys at Xpres Craft LOVED it is an understatement. We thought the whole event from start to finish was awesome! 

As our first time exhibiting at the show we were a little optimistic and really didnt know what to expect. We saw pictures, read reviews, spoke to other exhibitors and show organisers before arriving but nothing prepared us for the show and all it's greatness.
