Land of Oak & Iron are excited to host the next of our regular ‘Meet the Maker‘ events at the Heritage Centre in Winlaton Mill. Our next Meet the Maker event is with Vanessa from KindNESS Art & Crafts.
Vanessa Suddick is a local, North-East artist, who graduated with a 1st Class Hons in Fine Art from Northumbria University. She creates artwork through various techniques including painting, drawing, embroidery, sculpture and a combination of these techniques. Following her studies, Vanessa established her own business ‘KindNESS Art and Crafts’ so that she could share her love of all things creative with you.
Rather than only having her art in your home, she is keen to create art that you can wear! Her clothing and accessories are all handmade with love and attention to detail. The KindNESS clothing range was inspired by Vanessa’s passion to create unique clothing which is better for the environment. By reworking preloved clothing, you can wear beautiful, bespoke clothing for High Street prices as well as reducing your carbon footprint!
Come along to the Heritage Centre on Saturday 6th August, 10am – 4pm to meet Vanessa in person, buy some of her work and find out more about her art and crafts.
Some of Vanessa’s creations are also available to purchase for a limited period in the Heritage Centre shop for the 2 weeks running up to her in person event day.
‘Meet the Maker’ will be outside under cover of the gazebo unless the weather is cold/rainy – in which case it will be situated in the foyer area inside the Heritage Centre.
