“As with inspiration, once you know where to find it, it is everywhere! My work is an expression of my world, of which I feel is neither completely in everyday reality nor completely in Faery…I have attempted to express through texture, colour, personality, emotion, and character. With all my sculptures I feel new emotions, as if they have grown from within me. I hope that the creatures who have been expressed from my world bring something new to everyone…but, strangely, you may feel as if you have already met!”

“I just love making beautiful things. I’ve always made things since I was tiny and just want to spread the magic, to bring it back into people’s lives. My sources of inspiration come from folklore and nature; one stems from the other. I want to try and bring the beauty back so that people can see—be inspired by nature—and know that we don’t all have to live in a concrete jungle.”

Faery events always have unique handmade
arts and crafts for sale, such as the beautiful things
on offer from craftsperson Chyna de la Mer.

The lovely Tamara Newman is one of many talented, glamorous artists emerging on the Faery scene.

There is always a wide choice of entertainment
for children in the daytime…

...and for adults at nightime!

Also for the adults, there are all manner of magical potions available at the bar.

Flame by name, flame by nature!
