Makers Market
Makers Market
As a company we like to work locally with the community and to use local companies for supplies/stock and any work that needs doing as much as we can. One way we do this is to use our venue to showcase the artwork of a few local artist’s that we put up for sale for them (all proceeds go to the artist). In this way, the amazing venue decorations are always changing and 90% of wall decorations are for sale. To name a few artists who we showcase are RetroVandal, Tattoo’s by Thrax, Giles Meakin – Art, Design & Illustration and Feral Masks.
We have also started hosting a Maker’s Market (see events for more details) where these and a few other independent artists set-up stores for the day.
If you would like a stall slot at one of our Markers Market or to advertise your store/website on this page along with an artist bio, please don’t hesitate to contact us via Facebook, visiting the bar or the contacts page on this website for more information.
Below are a few pictures of artwork that we have (had) in the past and includes a few permanent fixtures to The Metal Monocle along with our featured artists…..
With a variety of exhibitons and in-person events under his belt, Ash is making a name for himself as a young artist. He is Inspired by the heavy metal/ alternative music he has grown up listening too, capturing the rough and fast paced nature of the music in his signature street art styled portraits. His art has been featured as Decor in the Metal Monocle since last year, alongside regular appreances at the Monocle's makers market.
Ash started his creative endeavors as an apprentice tattoo artist in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Unfortunately, He would later leave this opportunity to venture his own path as a freelance artist. 3 years later, Ash is still expanding his knowledge of his craft and trying to reach more people, showing them that pretentious art galleries and scamming dealers aren't required to be an artist, just a sense of honest authenticity. https://www.ashthearty.co.uk/
