A 6 month old group, 3 meet ups! Had to think of something bigger so we don't just stop there. In the third meet up, we all decided about having our very first handmade event in Chennai. A few days later, we wanted to make sure it didn't stop with that.
We then asked every member to mail us their works and handpicked a few. No repetitive stalls. We ended up with 17 craft stalls, one food stall, one candy stall and one stall aimed at promoting recycling!
The venue by itself added a rustic handmade feel to the whole event and we couldn't have asked for anything better! A write up in almost all the leading newspapers, and a foot fall of about 700 people!
