The pair first met back in 2012 at the '2D Art Market' held at the prestigious Bluecoat in Liverpool and ever since then their shared love for creativity has inspired their journey to champion other independent artists like themselves through their shop and markets.

Freida and Clare said: ‘We are both proud to support local businesses and provide a place for talented makers to showcase their work. There’s a really strong creative community in Liverpool and this market is a wonderful way to celebrate that. We can’t wait to welcome visitors, supporting local has never been more important, and the Autumn Market is all about bringing people together to do just that.”
