SPOTLIGHT: @rachelspreckleyart Spreckley Art As an artist living and working in rural Kent, I take inspiration from the natural world on my doorstep. Countryside walks are part of life for myself and my family, and as keen bird watchers we are passionate about wildlife, often visiting nature reserves or taking long walks in the Kent countryside or while holidaying in Wales. 
My past career in fashion design and interiors ensures my love of vibrant colour. I predominantly work with the medium of watercolour using a loose, expressive method. Splashes of paint create movement and energy, or by incorporating other mediums such as graphite or charcoal, these add another exciting element to my work. Follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see my latest work and news about future exhibitions.

Her dolls are made using pure British wool and draw upon traditional Waldorf doll making techniques. Member of the British Toymakers Guild and the Heritage Crafts Association. These wonderful dolls can be found in the long barn.
Good evening, to this year’s Mid Winter Market exhibitors. I am so sorry, the hand painted road signs that we put up this year, (in the same places, year on year), four have been taken down. I now do not have the time to remake/paint more. Please can you help me advertise our wonderful Handmade Mid Winter Market via social media please. Thank you for your help 🌻

SPOTLIGHT: @Longcroft Longwools Fine knitting yarns spun the finest Wensleydale fleece. I aspire to create yarns with a story, from farm to skein and for it to end up in the hands of knitters who are passionate in equal measure, about unique yarns and creating warm things with love. The Longcroft flock of Wensleydale Sheep and Alpaca graze in the gentle downland landscape surrounding Doddington, near Faversham, Kent: A location that inspires the name of each unique collection. Gentle processing means that the special qualities of the Longcroft wool and fibre: Super fine with an incredible lustre and drape really shine through. Occasionally you will find small scraps of hay and herbiage woven within the yarn, a ‘happy accident’ from foraging in the hedgerows! Ali Parsons and her Wensleydale sheep & fleece can be found in the Old Tractor Shed at this year’s Mid Winter Market.
