Testimonials

Inspirational, beautiful, good for the soul!

Beautifully, thoughtfully written, photographed, edited and produced by the exceptionally generous and talented Ruth. Wonderfully inspiring human stories of creativity and passion for art and craft. A total joy of a read cover to cover.

Francie, Stable of Ireland

“What we love about it Faire has a knack for finding makers of all kinds, showing the almost infinite number of ways you can be creative. What’s more, every story in Faire is commissioned especially for the issue.

The photography is just as well thought out as the artists featured and some of the images you could get lost in for hours, showcasing their work as well as the gloriously messy, chaotic studios it’s created in. While each feature follows a similar structure, there’s a rich and varied breadth of skills and experiences across the mag and it doesn’t matter if it’s not a creative pursuit your familiar with.

We found ourselves wondering how we could find our own pipe-smoking Bristolian to teach us how to mold copper. Passion for their materials be it leather, organza, or even light and shade just oozes from each maker. The stories are told by the makers themselves and we love hearing how they came to their particular passion…. A wonderful voyage through the creative lives of others.”

Fiona Hamilton, Pics & Ink

I have been the kind of person who has gone to the magazine stand and wished there was a magazine like Faire. I needed to find heart and soul of living artistic presence with light, shadow and magical focal interest wherein I felt transported. Faire completely satisfies all the criteria for illuminating an incredible entourage of individuals who are immersed in their art and craft. The magazine goes beyond thoughtfulness and beauty into simple pure love of.

Thank you for working so hard to make it all happen! It’s beautiful.

-Margot Guerrero, Santa Fe, New Mexico. USA

How absolutely delightful - and I am well set up on the settee as I start dipping into this - honest, beautiful, reflective piece of art in itself as a publication. I would like to say I have a mug of tea or coffee with me, but actually it's a glass of wine to celebrate finally completing the one last remaining piece of the so-difficult work which frankly is no longer where I'm at.

So I've started with the Editor's letter and moved on to 'Stories of Salt and Starlight".......connecting already at a deep level with all of this.

“My customers really do love and appreciate it. I think what you have created really resonates with people on multiple creative levels. They can relate to and embrace what lies between the pages. It’s really quite magical. I particularly love watching them search the shop for the pile and pick one up excitedly, full of anticipation. I can’t imagine not having it there. It simply knits everything together. “

Sonia Boriczewski, The Old Haberdashery

“FAIRE is a high-specification quarterly that will be welcomed by anyone who enjoys the likes of Upercase, Koel, Rakesprogress, Selvedge and Cabana.”

Magalleria, Bath

“I am enchanted by the portraits, the delicacy of the atmosphere and the poetry of FAIRE.”

Marie-France Boyer, associate editor of World of Interiors

“It comes back to this idea that when you create, if you do something that’s personal, it might have a finite purpose or energy. When you create work from something that’s bigger than yourself, then it keeps rippling like a wave.”

“Piece by piece, I tried to let go of the ideas I didn’t care about and I tried to reach within. During one of these meditations, I heard my own voice telling me, ‘But it’s all already here inside you. You have already done this.’”

“The beauty of flowers is as powerful as the pleasure of touching another human’s body, another who has lived and experienced this world with all the pain that it contains. Pain is also the beauty of this world.”

“We’re trying to live life simply and with as little impact on the environment as possible by working less and spending less money. Instead, we prioritise spending more time at home with each other and our children.”

“I found a red Aura in Mystras and in my beloved island of Hydra. It is an Aura that Dionysus would consider worthy. It is the colour of his Bacchic wine and his goat-killing epithet.”

“When I sit down in front of the canvas and start painting, it is purely instinctive. I often start off with one idea and then I take off on my path. It is an intuitive journey, an often surprising, astonishing and wonderful adventure.”

“In an ideal world, I’d like to work even harder and with fewer restraints, fewer filters, fewer fears, and perhaps free myself sometimes from aesthetic concerns.”

“I have a friend who talks a lot about spirituality and art and how they are inseparable. I often liken the art world to bad visibility when you’re scuba diving, searching for treasure – you glide along and then sometimes something emerges. You have to keep hoping. I believe we have to do what we can during our short time on this planet to attempt illumination and hope for progress.”
