Local Markets for Locally Made

Craft markets are often a great place to find small local artisans. Most craft markets are only open to local producers so you're pretty much guaranteed to find ethical items. And now there are a lot of well curated markets so you don't have flash-back to the village craft markets of your childhood full of painted ceramics and crocheted toilet paper covers (just me? oh well lucky you).

Couple weekends ago there was a one-off market in Soho. I passed through and grabbed a bunch of cards for interesting booths. Its great that lots of artisans now have small websites so even if you don't want to buy that day you can contact them later. I also like being able to check-out quaity before I invest in an online purchase.  Here are some of my finds to give you an idea about what you can turn up at this kind of market.
