Welsh ICE has announced its second pop-up shop tenant, Karen L's Creation, at Ffos Caerffii.
Karen L's Creation will open on Friday, July 19th, and will be trading until August 18th.
It is the second trader to take advantage of Welsh ICE's flexible pop-up shop space in Caerphilly. Karen L's Creation makes jewellery and fashion accessories with freshwater pearls and epoxy resin.
Karen said:
“I have been crafting for a while and participated in many craft markets already. I am very excited to join the Welsh ICE as it will be my first time to present my craft work in a physical shop. I am very thankful to Welsh ICE for this opportunity and all the help they provided.”
Karen L's Creation will operate at Ffos Caerffili with the following hours:
- Tuesday – Sunday: 10:30am – 4:00pm
Rachel Harris, Chief Creative Officer at Welsh ICE, said:
“We are thrilled to welcome Karen L's Creation to Ffos Caerffili. Karen's passion for crafting and her unique designs are a perfect fit for our community. Our first pop-up shop tenant, Bishop, P ease!, saw great success, and we are excited to continue providing opportunities for local businesses to test trade and grow. This initiative is crucial for fostering entrepreneurship and supporting the vibrancy of our town centre.”
This tenancy coincides with Ffos Caerffili’s Summer activities which kicks off with Ffoschella from The Circular Studio this weekend and continues with family activities and workshops from Joy House Creations, The Community Gaming Club events, weekly markets and more.
The pop-up shop initiative is designed to give local entrepreneurs a low-risk opportunity to gauge market demand and scale their operations, with discounted rental rates to ensure accessibility.
