My Ethos

My Ethos

I strongly believe in supporting local resources, the quality and labour of love in handmade items.  I feel that items should be long term investments, crafted and cared for with the intent to become antiques.  I also believe in the ability of plants to enhance both the natural environment and our well-being, particularly in urban landscapes. My work brings vegetation inside, and supports people to flourish and grow outside.

Whenever designing and making something, I aim to be as responsible and sustainable as possible.  By carefully selecting materials, reducing my waste, reusing and foraging things that would otherwise be scrapped, I try to make my work tread lightly on the planet.

I am a member of Find A Maker by Craft Festival & of MAKE Southwest.

Selected to be a ‘Find a Maker’ member by the Craft Festival since 2022.
See link for the carefully selected makers and more about the organisation.

Since 2023 I have been a full member of MAKE Southwest formerly Devon Guild of Craftsmen. It is an acclaimed exhibition space for contemporary craft and design as well as a leading charity for craft education.

Located in Bovey Tracey on the edge of Dartmoor, their large galleries offer a great venue with inspiring exhibitions and events, encouraging people to support, make and learn about contemporary craft.
