MADE Fresh – Ouseburn Open Studios Design Market pop up
October 24, 2013
MADE NORTH in partnership with Toffee Factory presents MADE Fresh, a collection of the most exciting new work being produced by Northern designers and makers. The pop up will feature contemporary design objects by emerging as well as established designer/makers from the North of England. The unique aspect of MADE Fresh is that everything on sale is has been exclusively produced in the last 12 months. These original works are priced between £10 and £150, and card payment facilities will be available. Perfectly timed for those Christmas presents! And Pizzette will be on hand under the arch outside throughout each afternoon, serving freshly made pizzas with unusual ingredients – both sweet and savoury!
Toffee Factory MADE Fresh event will be open during Ouseburn Open Studios on Saturday 23rd November and 24th November, between 10 and 5pm.
Patrick Murphy from MADE NORTH says,“It’s great to be working with Toffee Factory again, after such a successful collaboration as part of the Northern Design Festival. Ouseburn is a great area and we look forward to showing a selection of exciting new design from northern talent.”
MADE Fresh is part of a wider event, Ouseburn Open Studios, which sees designers/makers in Ouseburn Valley open up their studios to the public, who can get a glimpse into how they work. It is one of the highlights of the Christmas shopping calendar, and a chance to meet and support local artists by buying directly or commissioning original gifts and artwork, 10 to 5pm on 23rd and 24th November 2013

“¡VAMOS! has presented Mexican Wrestling for a few years now and we were genuinely thrilled when the Toffee factory accepted us! It is an inspiring and beautiful location, with talent in abundance and a great team delivering it. It is also a site that many of the festival audience won't have been to, so there were many surprised faces!"
Nikolas Barrera – Director of ¡VAMOS! Festival
