The first half of our first Craft Fair is a wrap, and what a treat to meet so many NQ readers - and so many fans of Jean Claude Roy. Grand Bruit shines like an hypnotic jewel from the centre of the West Gallery, drawing all eyes. We're back again next week, and then off to Corner Brook, following the NLCDA Craft Fair trail. Which is heavily traveled, by the way. All manner of artisans make the trek - jewelers, chocolatiers, photographers, screenprinters, publishers, knitters, bakers (the fruitcake on offer was said to be unparalleled). You become part of a - not quite a tribe, but a distinct crowd - a crowd that clusters together, watches each other's back/booths, yarns through the quiet times, cheers on the busy spurts. Your turf is marked by coloured lights and sparkly decorations and a constant serenade of Silver Bells. And then, after several intense 10- or 12-hours days, the Fair is over, and you break your display down, and depart, possibly to meet again the next year.

This craft fair sounded excellent. I would be most interested in the jewler booths.
