Alternative Artisans arrives in Lincoln on 16th of August 2026, bringing the city its first dedicated celebration of authentic alternative craftsmanship. After building a thriving community in Birmingham, we're expanding to The Engine Shed to showcase genuine handmade treasures from artisans across the kink, fetish, goth, and alternative communities - with our strict no mass-produced policy firmly in place. Discover unique leather goods, striking gothic jewellery, and original art pieces while connecting directly with the creators behind them. Support the growing community of independent makers who champion quality, creativity, and authentic craftsmanship over fast fashion.

About Bad Nancy

I’m Bad Nancy, a textile artist specialising in alternative handmade bags and hair accessories. I source distinctive fabrics and repurpose every scrap into notebook covers, patches, badges, clothing and wall art, layering them with chains, spikes and metal details to create bold, one-of-a-kind pieces. Perfect for those who like their style a little different.
