THANK YOU

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who made yesterday's spring market such a joyful day!

Everyone who came along for a visit and made a contribution to our fundraising. It was lovely seeing so many of you enjoying the market, chatting in the kitchen and enjoying a drink and cake on the sunny terrace! We received lots of positive feedback, which we are so pleased about.

Thank you so so very much to our makers who gave up their time to be there. They all helped us to transform Maggie's Dundee into one big pop-up shop of gorgeous handmade products, gifts and treats. All the stalls looked just wonderful against the Maggie's backdrop.

And a huge huge thank you to the Maggie's volunteers who made the day run so smoothly! Who helped us move all the furniture to free up space for stalls, welcomed the visitors, served teas and coffees and their homebaking and looked after the raffle. Thanks so much for giving up your time for Maggie's.

We hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we did. It will still take a few days to work out the total raised, but we'll let you know soon!

Even the cakes and treats in our pop-up café/tearoom will be handmade (or rather home-baked) by the Maggie's volunteers. And there will be a raffle filled with handmade goodies too!
We can't wait to welcome you into the building designed by Frank Gehry, show you around and show you everything our makers have been making for this day. And you can enjoy the amazing view over the river Tay from the little room upstairs that has the biggest window. Enjoy some refreshments in the welcoming kitchen and going by the weather forecast you'll also be able to relax in the beautiful garden and maze outside.
And most importantly - help us raise lots of vital funds for Maggie's Dundee, so they can continue to support everyone in Tayside who is affected by cancer.

WILD ANIMALS

We're looking forward to seeing all the wild creatures that will be bringing to Makers for Maggie's spring market this year!

ABOUT
Jennifer Black is a self-taught artist, based in Anstruther, Fife, working under the name of wooltide. She handmakes all of her work from recycled materials and magazines to create light-hearted, decorative and useful 3D creatures and characters. She uses colour, shape and texture with some added humour.
Recently Jennifer began creating little paper mache people, Magsies and Zinis, made from magazines - hence the names. The words on the paper used to make these human figures are relevant to each character made. The figures are a joyful and thoughtful way of portraying imagined and real people.

WHY MAGGIE'S
I would be delighted to help with raising money again for Maggie’s essential service which provides so much support and hope for those affected by cancer. I have friends who have benefited from Maggie’s and I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this kind fund raising community.

DONATION
Jennifer will make an additional donation of every sale to .

Have a look at Jen's latest characters or talk to her about a commission on 10 May at Maggie's Dundee from 12 - 4pm.
