Autumn Leaves and Paperies held at The Create Space

Autumn Leaves and Paperies, the inaugural exhibition of The Create Space held from October 19-20 at Baridhara, was a celebration of fall with all things artistic – starting from delectable scented candles, amazing notebooks, exclusive art prints, stunning jewelry to tasty baked treats. Moreover, it was a collaboration of creative businesses by young entrepreneurs from the art and craft community. Made with Love, one of the exhibitors, hosted the event in partnership with The Create Space. Other exhibitors of the event included Stellar, Newton's Archive, Bad Girl Nation, B's Closett and Lucy the Bakery.

"Autumn is one of our favourite seasons because we just love the atmosphere it brings. So, we wanted to capture the vibes of the season with this exhibition," says Sarah Shams, who manages the day-to-day operations at Made with Love. "Since we are all massive stationery enthusiasts, the 'paperies' part in the title is self-explanatory." The autumn-themed cookies, brownies, iced tea and cheesecakes served at the exhibition alongside the music and decorations with fairy lights added to the intimate ambiance of the event. "The mission of The Create Space is to provide artists from different fields an opportunity to go beyond social media to not just showcase their skills, but also share them with and teach them to others," says Sarah Zarrar, the owner of  The Create Space and the co-founder of Stellar. "In the next few months, we hope to start regular workshops on brush lettering, candle and soap making, journal binding, knitting and many other areas. "We want to host private classes, pop-up stores and more exhibitions so that artists can have a collaborative space to network at." The event enjoyed an excellent turnout and resulted in smiles for all those who were present.
