Other local makers include Katie Tyson Textiles, known for her unique handmade tea towels, bags, and textiles, and artists Steve Bayley and Suzanne Grace, who will present a mini exhibition of abstract, animal, and impressionistic works.

Karen Edwards, artist at The Art Quarter Liverpool said:

“Myself and The Art Quarter Market Team are made up to be able to add our first Autumn Market to our offer at Metquarter. We’re looking forward to seeing our returning makers again and welcoming a few new ones, broadening the array of great handmade gifts that will be available all under one roof. Even if visitors buy something small, we want to show the people of Liverpool that our markets are a great way to support local, independent businesses and helps boost the local economy.”

Jennina O’Neill, Metquarter Centre Manager said:

“Following the success of The Art Quarter Markets over the summer and winter last year, we are delighted to welcome local artists and makers to the centre once again, to showcase their work. Hosting an Art Quarter Market in autumn is testament to the hard work the Art Quarter team have put in to get the markets to where they are now, and it is great to see members of the local community come together to celebrate the artistic talent within the city of Liverpool.”

The Art Quarter Autumn Market is a free event and will take place at Metquarter on Saturday 28September from 11am-5pm.
