Betty Pepper's 5 Favourites from Find a Maker
Betty's work is made from pieces of damaged, discarded books. She takes them in, listens to their tales of woe and gives them a new raison d’etre.
Find out more about Betty and view her work here.
Samantha Bryan I adore these whimsical dust fairies and the sense of humour behind them!
Gaby Devitt Woven Textiles I love the subtle, happy colours - makes me want to wrap up and settle somewhere comfortable to read. Just beautiful!
Simon Brock Clog Maker & Leatherworker Who wouldn't love a pair of gold clogs? I'm also fascinated by the folk world that inspires this fabulous footwear.
Alysa Freeman As a person who works with discarded books and paper I find this jewellery just magical.
Justine Jenner Pottery I am drawn in by the colours in Justine's work. It makes me think of big skies, sunsets and icy mornings.
