After being a regular attendee of Manchester Craft Mafia events, Bramhall based Judith Henshaw will be bringing ‘A Thing of Beauty’ to the Manchester Craft Mafia Christmas Market this year. Recently Judith showed off her work at our craft market at the Cheshire Food Fair, where she says she also “…met some lovely stall holders, bought cards from Betty Raspberry, Peg dolls from Ophelia One Button and fabric from Stitch Me Lane.”
When asked about her craft inspiration Judith shared;
“I love beads, wool, fabric and sparkly things! I’m never still. I always have to be doing something with my hands, I must drive my family mad . I love trying something new. But my biggest thrill still comes from someone wanting to pay money for something that I’ve made!!”
Judith’s favourite item on her stall are her little hand-felted bags (see below).

"It still amazes me how different they look when they come out the washing machine. They are so yummy to touch."
Another favourite and long standing success of Judith’s are her ‘Molly’ bracelets.
Judith enjoys the pre-festive season by taking Autumn walks with her family in all the lovely green areas around us… as well as making handmade gifts for many of her friends and family! She shared some of the things that she’s making with fabric bought from ‘Stitch Me Lane‘… but just in case the people on her ‘nice’ list are reading, we don’t want to give any details away!
No Spoilers Here!
If you want to know more, you’ll have to ask Judith on December 10th at the Whitworth Gallery, or visit her on
