WORKSHOP NEWS | JUNE
Hello from the outer hebrides
We're a long way from Cornwall but in familiar salty air. Camped up on the Isle of Lewis with Dingo and our surfboards.
Over the next two weeks Allegra and Ella will be running the workshop, making our largest batch of XL Tote Bags and Half Bucket Bags to date, and the last run of leather work for a while. (explained below)
This months collection of inspiration captures our creative mood: A nostalgia for how things used to be made. A sense of uncertainty. An unwavering belief in the gifts of nature. The strength of authentic art.
I hope there is resonance.
Wish me luck with good swell and fair winds!
