After a career in design and education I was drawn back to making during the Covid lockdown. After a career in design and education I was drawn back to making during the Covid lockdown.
I was delighted to have met and got involved with the creative artists, makers and thoroughly lovely people who are Makers Cornwall. Their meetups are wonderful, and the Christmas Fayre is such a successful event. I am really happy to give them as much support as they need and I am looking forward to more catchups and a good cuppa together in the future.

Laura Talbot
Hi, I’m Laura and a jeweller and teacher from Falmouth. I am really excited to have joined the team for 2025 having experienced it as both a customer and smallholder in the past. Let the Christmas magic (and madness) commence!

Maxine Greer
I’m an artist with a background in project management and have been part of Makers Cornwall since 2019, after going along to my first meeting in Truro. I’ve volunteered at the Christmas Fair for the last few years and love supporting so many brilliant Cornish businesses. I'm excited to be involved again this year!

Claire Maxwell
Hello! I am Claire, the creator and mess maker behind Windsweptgirlie. I have been lured, once again, into organising this most WONDERFUL fair with the promise of Cocktails. I can't wait to meet you all in person!

Emily Brown
Hi, I’m Emily and my thing is brand and visual identity, especially for small creative businesses. My experience previously of Makers Fairs is as a customer. I’m very happy to be involved this year again as it means I get to bask in the reflected glory of all you lovely makers! (and do lots of shopping - again!)

Rebecca Spikings
Hello, I'm Rebecca and I usually spend my days drawing and dreaming of all things spring and summer except when I'm working with the brilliant team behind The Makers Cornwall Christmas Fair. It's a joy and a privilege to be involved in helping to organise such a fabulous event.

Sally Atkins
Hello from The Sunny Cupboard! I’m Sally and I’ve been involved in Makers Cornwall for a few years, especially over the pandemic (February Social Media Challenge anyone?), and recently in organising the monthly coffee get togethers in Truro and Lostwithiel. I can’t believe that I am involved in putting on one of the best Christmas events in Cornwall for a forth time! It really is a pinch me moment.
