READ NOWMs Hopper, who began scrapbooking 18 years ago, will have a make-and-take stand at the fair, where her team will also host demonstrations.
“I think we’re reaching that point in the cycle where arts and crafts are a popular activity again,” she said.
“There’s a lot of digital options, but there’s a big market for handmade goods.
“It’s always better to receive a handmade card in the mail then a message over social media.”
The fair will be open from 9am to 4.30pm.
