Meet the Maker Day
Valerie Taylor creates a range of hand-woven and hand-crafted bags and purses. She uses the finest Donegal yarns in her hand-woven ranges and pre-woven collections. Valerie’s beautifully crafted pieces are a sustainable product – with everyday practicality. All products are designed, sourced, and handmade by Valerie in the Northwest of Ireland.
Valerie will be at Derry Designer Makers shop for the whole of the day demonstrating her heritage craft.
We will have various members of the collective demonstrating their craft throughout the day also. These will include, Batik fabric painting, hand embroidery, Oil on Canvas painting, card making, paper quilling, and jewellery making.
The public are free to drop in anytime throughout Sunday 17th August between 10am – 5pm , at the Derry Designer Makers store on Shipquay street. This will be a great opportunity to talk to different local artists and crafters, and learn about their talent and passion for art and craft.
Keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook pages for any new additions to the makers day.
