‘Affordable’ art fairs can be a bit like affordable housing: unaffordable, underwhelming and leaving you feeling ultimately inadequate. Fortunately there are also events like the DIY Art Market and its sister event the Independent Ceramics Market, where you really can buy bags of original artwork at refreshingly wallet-friendly prices.
Both events are taking place at Rich Mix this weekend, with the Art Market on Saturday and Ceramics on the Sunday, so now’s your chance to grab a unique gift for those people in your life who already have everything else. There’ll be a spread of stalls from established and more up-and-coming illustrators, artists ceramists and more, serving up everything from screen prints and cards and tote bags to ‘zines, pins and patches.
