Brixton’s covered markets are to host night markets organised by Crafty Fox, which has previously used the Dogstar for local events.
The first is on Thursday 20 June. Crafty Fox says it will be bringing its mix of emerging design talent to Brixton Village and Market Row on every third Thursday of the month, from 6 to 10pm, until September, with an “original pick of the best artisanal, sustainable, small-batch makers”. Each market will feature 35 makers with a new mix each month.
“Brixton Village Lates” music events will be on at the same time.
Visitors can get their portrait painted by Viktorija Semjonova for £25.
Traders will include Relic, handmade jewellery in silver and bronze, prints from South London based illustrative collective El Famaso and ceramicist Nina Paloma’s ceramics.
Sinead Koehler launched Crafty Fox in London in 2010. It has since expanded its role as a social enterprise and creative community for contemporary craft sellers, offering affordable stalls, support schemes for new makers, business talks, a blog and an online directory.
