Lancaster Christmas art fair will showcase the unique work of more than 50 artists

A popular event with local artists and creatives, the King Street Arts fair is being held at The Storey Main Gallery starting on Thursday December 7.

There promises to be lots for everyone to see and browse – everything from needle felting, ceramics, small gifts, prints and cards to paintings, sculpture and photography.

All the work is produced by local artists so if you want a unique gift this could be the place for you.

Roy Smith, who runs King Street Arts with Kath McDonald, said: “The annual Art Fair gives local and regional artists the opportunity to get their work seen. Everything is handmade and has a unique quality to it.”

This is the third consecutive year the Art Fair is taking place in The Storey’s spacious Victorian gallery and this year, thanks to the support of Lancaster Bid, King Street Arts are offering an extended range of seasonal themed workshops at affordable prices.

These are:

Sunday November 26, 10.30am-12.30pm, pottery workshop with Kath McDonald

Monday December 11, 6.30-9pm, paper cutting workshop with Maryam Golubeva

Wednesday December 13, 6.30 -9pm, needle felting workshop with Georgina Peacock
