Made In The Shade II
The attack of the time-warp wives? No! It’s the return of Made In The Shade at The Lighthouse, Glasgow!
Innovative shopping event ‘Made In The Shade‘ launched at The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Architecture, Design & The City, on 24th May 2008. Attracting over 40 creative stallholders and over 2000 visitors, Glasgow’s discerning shoppers and handmade lovers embraced the arrival of this DIY style showcase and relished in the exclusivity of the handmade one-off.
Made In The Shade (a slang phrase, popular in the 1950s and synonymous with guaranteed success) returns to The Lighthouse this Autumn on Saturday 25th October. Due to demand from local designers and makers, organisers have increased the size of the Autumn and Winter events. Now taking place in both Gallery 5 and the Vitra Suite at The Lighthouse, Made In The Shade II will now play host to 50+ independent creative businesses from across the spectrum of crafty disciplines and from across Scotland.
Made In The Shade is organised by a small team of Glasgow-based independent business owners and creative entrepreneurs alongside The Lighthouse events team. The ethos of Made In The Shade is rooted in a commitment to promoting neo-craft, design talent and indie business. Organisers are devoted to nurturing the event as a DIY, grassroots enterprise. The team’s talents span numerous craft and design disciplines not to mention various business fields and the group has crafty connections with the creative networks such as The Lighthouse, the Creative Entrepreneurs Club and the Glasgow Craft Mafia. The group has already begun work on the Made In The Shade Festive shopping weekender!
