We were lucky enough to have this on our doorstep. Hampton Court hosted Kirsite Allsopp's first Handmade Fair during the summer of 2014. Annie Sloan was invited as one of the Expert Guests. She had a stand there displaying the whole range of paints and products, with loads of demos on how to get the best out of the paint and products. All very exciting to my mind.
Here we are presenting one of the daily workshops. Annie is explaining how to use the paint to decorate a metal candlestick which everyone got to take home once they were finished.
As one of her team (I work alongside Annie at her Headquarters in Oxford training her stockists) I was involved in the workshop presentations too.
I can tell you they were very popular.
Here is Annie alongside Kirstie during her live interview to around 600 people in the amazing big dome. The atmosphere was incredible, like a big circus tent. Annie took the opportunity to introduce her new book to everyone.
Room Recipes for Style and Colour
Come into the shop and have a browse through the book. It is a great source of ideas on how to put a particular style together. With projects to try and loads of photos to show how each style can look.
Just to finish - here is a lovely photo I took of Annie and Kirstie outside the big dome after the interview. A moment to relax. Excellent.
If you didn't manage to get there this time then I recommend you save the date for next year - the whole fair is well worth a visit.
