“Dominoes Toys is delighted to be sponsoring the first Leicester Artisan Festival. We have so many talented artists and craft people in Leicester, many of whom are customers of Dominoes Arts and Craft Department.

“We are hoping that the festival will encourage more interest in the different crafts being demonstrated and that for our local artists it will be an opportunity for them to show off their work. We are sure it will be a great day for everyone involved and hopefully the first of many.”

Joseph Harkin, Market Development Manager, is pleased to have Dominoes as a sponsor and is looking forward to the festival.

“We are thrilled that Dominoes have decided to sponsor the Artisan Festival and consider them to be a perfect fit with the event. After the success of last November’s Food Festival, it was always in our plans to hold a large-scale event, this time drawing upon our local art and crafts communities.

“I am excited about being part of this new festival that will showcase Leicester’s varied cultural expertise, alongside a great opportunity to purchase some authentic bespoke products.”

Joe Hand, from Leicester Vintage Old Toy Shop on the Indoor market, who will be attending the event and providing a toy valuation service on the day, added: “The concept of the festival sounds great as there will be something for everyone. I am looking forward to taking an active part as I think it will be a very popular event and a real draw for the city centre.”

Lucy Phillips, Director of Leicester Print Workshop, who will be providing printmaking activities and exhibiting a selection of work, is delighted to be part of the festival.

“As an arts charity we are always keen to play an active part in celebrating arts and crafts in the city. We are looking forward to sharing printmaking skills with the people of Leicester.”
