"It's my 20th anniversary as a professional artist this year," Julia continued, "In this time I have made many good friends and contacts in the art world, so it seemed a perfect time to organise an event that celebrates this supportive community. The vintage theme is the perfect way to focus not only on my passion for clothes and objects with a story but also sustainability."
A number of artists and vintage sellers will be taking part and those who can never decide between their love for art and their passion for vintage will be delighted with the trove of artists who combine the two.
For example, Hebden artist Lisa Slater, known as "Automator" will delight with her historical craft, folk art and nature influenced automotors - each unique piece Lisa creates is a feast of the unusual and humorous, even her new pieces exude a sense of the old.

And if you love embroidery, vintage and fashion, you'll delight in the work of Hannah Shkandrij, which gorgeously combines all three. Hannah recrafts worn and vintage pieces with intricate hand-embroidery inspired by her Ukrainian heritage, her work is adorned with flowers, natural forms and quirky slogans, creating a folksy, yet modern bohemian feel that's rooted in sustainability.
