| How did it all begin? | |
| I have just retired as a Technology and Art and Design Teacher and wanted to keep my practical and design skills operating. Set up our garage as a home workshop and started to manufacture wooden items for galleries and markets. | |
| What do you like most about being a stallholder? | |
| The best part of being a stall holder is meeting new people whether they are fellow stall holders or customers. | |
| What do you like least about being a stallholder? | |
| Physical work of setting up and packing up and the unpredictable weather | |
| Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? | |
| Still producing high quality small furniture items with perhaps a side business using a laser engraver and cutter. | |
| What one piece of advice would you give to a new stallholder? | |
| Try to find markets that suit the product you are selling. Craft items often sell best if you are part of a real makers and designers market where people come looking for bespoke, unusual and hand made products. | |
