Dear Sir/Madam ,

I’m glad to introduce you the next edition of AF-L’Artigiano in Fiera, the biggest crafts selling exhibition, which will be held in Milan Fair from the 30th November until the 8th December 2013.

AF is the “trade fair of work”, the event which exalts quality of hand made products, increasing the value of creativity and tradition of typical productions from all over the world.

150,000 sqm exhibition area - 2,900 exhibitors - 110 countries of five continents: these figures are the best proof of the importance of this event.

Please find attached a participation project completely devoted to UK, hoping to include you amongst the numerous countries represented in our show this year.

I’m planning a visit in UK by the end of March, I’m at your disposal to arrange a meeting and for any other further information you may need.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Best regards.

An extraordinary opportunity for emerging craft businesses

Farnham Maltings is working with Ann Foster who has an ambition to develop a community of crafts makers from three studio spaces that she has created in her garden
in Rowledge, Farnham. Offered rent free on a yearly license, these fully serviced spaces are to be made available to crafts people in the early stages of establishing
themselves as businesses. The only cost is to cover heating, water and insurance with each studio providing space for two people.

· Studio 1 (Clay Cottage) measures 3.3m x 4.5m and has a kiln and wheel installed
· Studio 2 (Peppercorn) measures 3m x 3.6m and is currently used as a metal/jewellery studio
· Studio 3 (Threadbare) is in 2 sections measuring 2.7m x 1.9m & 2.2m x 3.2m.
This space was designated for textiles but use could be changed.

Should you be interested then Ann is hosting an open afternoon on Friday 1 March for potential crafts people. Please contact Amy Collins on 01252 745474 or email
