The following represent a selection of the most recent articles I have written for UK Handmade.
Summer 2013: Bristol Scrapstore
A feature championing the network of Scraptores that run across UK. They encourage children to use their imaginations and create something with their hands. Each scrapstore is a treasure trove of clean scrap waste materials donated by business to be reused by local children in whatever way their creative urge takes them. The range of materials in any of the scrapstore changes each day and could include card, paper, textiles, paint, cork, wool, cardboard tubes, netting, gauze and many other things.
My super-talented niece took all the photos featured in this article.
Summer 2013: Vintage Vacations

Summer 2014: Story of Mum

Story of mum is an interactive journey - a chance for mums to be creative, to share their stories and to explore what it means to be a Mother.

Fig is a truly original shop on the Gloucester Road in Bristol. It is full of beautiful, hand-made gifts and cards.
