The Woodland Haberdasher

Based just outside of Bury St Edmunds, The Woodland Haberdasher has always had a great love of all things wild and wonderful that grow from the land. Spending much of her time making, experimenting, reading, walking about and occasionally creating fires in Suffolk, Fay's eyes were opened to a new realm of experimentation and carving.

She enjoys the process of harvesting wild and raw materials and turning them into beautiful yet functional objects that are loved and used every day. An enthusiastic teacher, she has been working in collaboration with Suffolk Wildlife Tryst for the last 5 years, running workshops and talks for the WI, Guiding and other groups.
