Trying to live the good life
I graduated in BA History and it is the story and history behind the recycled finds that inspires me to reuse what we have in the world. I strongly believe in protecting the environment and consciously make steps towards improving my eco credentials both in the business and at home. I mainly work in textiles; sewing, applique and quilting, but love trying new crafts and I am looking forward to doing more woodwork in the near future and bringing new products to the store for you to enjoy.
I am inspired by anything with good design, a great story and any material I could make use of that was going to be chucked away. One mans trash is a craftwoman's treasure. I love to make practical but beautiful products that can have a new life away from the landfill. Many of my materials come from my local brewery, Geeves Brewery, which is owned by my supportive and brilliant partner Harry and his father Pete. They too believe in protecting the country around them and are happy that I can use their waste and turn it into something new and useful
