Suffolk designer putting the fun back into functional gifts

Tamara Hunt, of Fanny's Your Aunt, will soon be making her way to the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate where she will make her debut at the British Craft Trade Fair (BCTF).
BCTF is the largest and most well-established event of its kind, focusing exclusively on high quality, British made artisan products across categories which include handmade ceramics, porcelain, fashion accessories and jewellery, glass, metalwork, woodwork, textiles, greetings cards and fine art.

For the first time ever in 2020, to celebrate the new decade, BCTF will open to the public for one day only on Saturday April 4, ahead of the trade show opening on Sunday April 5 – Tuesday April 7. Visitors will have the chance to browse and buy from an unrivalled selection of products, straight from authentic British designer-makers and small independent companies.
Speaking about life as a designer and what the future holds, Tamara said: "I love being able to take something from a word or phrase that comes to me while I am out walking, from a conversation, or reading a newspaper, magazine or book, to mixing it with vibrant colours and motifs and it transforming into something fun yet empowering. The icing on the cake is seeing it out there in the market place connecting with people. That's when I know that I have struck a chord, that I have given someone a voice."
