Our story

After an art foundation course and a degree in Graphic Design, my career meandered away from the creative to the more technical side until a modern calligraphy workshop a few years ago reignited that creativity.

I find hands on crafts such as calligraphy and embroidery very therapeutic, which is one of the reasons I created my beginner embroidery hoop kits - to share this mindful craft with more people.

Born and bred in Yorkshire, I’ve lived in Newcastle upon Tyne since 2003 so a lot of my designs have picked up a North East influence.
