By chance on Saturday I called into the Corn Exchange and there was an Art, Design and craft shopping fair on organized by Becky of Reetsweet.
I have met Becky a few times in the city and she has expanded Reetsweet since I first chatted with her.
The above picture shows one of the stallholders, Jenna with her art. Jenna was named after a character on Blake's 7, her parents loved the programme. Jenna has a full time job in photography as a medical photographer, but her background is in art and design.
Jenna creates one of a kind items from vintage and rescued household things. I caught up with Jenna towards the end of the afternoon after several items had been sold. Because Jenna used to rescue old bottles and jars from recycling bins she calls her art Pilfered.
I love the Leeds Corn Exchange and it is great to see it filled with people as it was on Saturday.

I had a look at some of your photos of the Corn Exchange from Dec last year - it's a marvellous building! Good to see it's being used and not left to fall apart.
ReplyDeleteReetsweet! Fantastic name!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place to photoshoot and view art. I wonder what a medical photographer's job actually is.
