Meet the Sellers - Dorset Team Christmas Fair - Natalie and Jo from Studio Pickles

Located in: Highcliffe, Dorset.
Sells: Studio Pickles designs and creates original jewellery, arts and crafts which are handmade in Dorset by the sea. 

Makers Story: 

Natalie & Jo have been friends for a LONG time (since primary school) and have both always enjoyed learning new crafts and playing with creative things. They love to create whatever takes their fancy. 

Natalie is the 'make it happen' part of the Studio Pickles duo. She has been best buddies with Jo for eons and endures her ramblings about how she wants it to snow, why mashed potato is the best food and renditions of what crime Quincy has solved. 

Jo is great with ideas, not so great with getting stuff done. Which is why her and Natalie make such good friends, despite the fact she has to endure a lot of wibbling about science, space and death in space.

Dorset Team Christmas Fair: Natalie & Jo will be selling their beautiful jewellery, art and gifts at the Dorset Team Christmas Fair on Saturday 3rd December at the Allendale Centre in Wimborne.

Please come along and meet Natalie & Jo and our other makers and sellers.

Doors open at 10am and close at 4pm and it is free entry.
