What do you make?
Primarily cards from my own photographs together with other handmade cards, lavender bags, embellished notebooks, a small amount of jewellery and hand painted glass.

What inspires you?
Anything really - will see something that triggers my imagination and off I go.

How did you begin your journey?
I was a 24/7 carer for 10 years and when it sadly finished I was absolutely at a loss as to what to do with myself.  I started to accompany a friend to craft fairs - just to keep her company and she in turn encouraged me to start crafting myself.
What is your favourite thing to make?
​It has to be anything to do with my photographs which has been a passion of mine for many years.

Do you every have crafting disasters?
For sure!  Who doesn't? Apart from those items listed under what do you make I am always trying something new and with any new ventures you are never really satisfied with the first attempts - everything is a learning curve.

If I had a crafting wish, what would it be?
In an ideal world a room large enough to accommodate all the bits and pieces I have accumulated over time with racks of shelves and baskets so I could find items immediately instead of spending hours wondering "now where did I put that?"

Become a Fayre & Square Artisan




​Our special team of artisans are often described as a family of craft loving, community friendly people. We are proud of our team, whose talents shine through in their craft and their obvious passion for helping others.
​ 

We sell a wide variety of homemade items created by our artisans, both in our shop in Centre Court Shopping Centre in Wimbledon and online. To keep our shop running, our artisans volunteer their time in the shop. Details of what you can do to help can be discussed.

Our artisans also donate a small percentage of sales to the project in order for us 
to continue to support young people with learning or physical disabilities, mental health or confidence issues to gain work experience and skills.
