EVENTS
Throughout the year we attend many fairs and craft markets where as well as being a nice day out, you can come and see our range of products in person as well as speak to Richard & Lynne about the fascinating background behind the point paper art.
Due to the restrictions placed during 2020, we have also embraced the newer medium of virtual or online events and fairs, where you will be able to see our products as well as products from other companies all in one place.
