Interview: Claireoncloud9

I am Claire Halson and I live with my husband Mark, and our four daughters - Emily (15), Alice (8), Grace (4) and Lily (2).

I’ve always been artistic and worked as a freelance Artist before joining the world of ‘proper’ work! From as young as I can remember, I have been painting, drawing and creating my own items. The clouds came about when I was designing one of my girls’ bedrooms and wanted a cloud and raindrop theme. I couldn’t find anything that I liked and so I made a few clouds and a mobile, and Claireoncloud9 was born!

Interview: Feltstream

Hello! My name is Dina Ivanova. I’m from Russia, from a beautiful city of St.Petersburg, where I was born, grew up, studied and have been working as a graphic designer for 15 years. For the last 7 years I have been living in Germany. I am here because of my husband, who has been working in Germany for the last 15 years. We have a beautiful daughter Tina, she is 4 years old. 

Interview: Andreavida

I am Andrea from Budapest, creator of funny pets and charming dolls. I'm graduated as teacher of arts and mathematics - it is a strange combination, isn't it? I used to work with numbers and computers for years, but arts and crafts remained my passion forever.
I've been sewing since I was a little girl, as my grandmother and mother did. I've always been wearing my own handmade clothes, and when my children were born - almost twenty years ago - I started to make clothes and toys for them, too. Now my daughter and son no longer play with my toys and but I can't stop creating new dolls and plushies.

Interview: The Wandering Workshop

We are Jose from Madrid, Spain and Athina from Crete, Greece, the creators of “The Wandering Workshop”. After living for some years in Barcelona, where Athina studied Archaeology and Jose worked as a conservator, we moved to the Cyclades, Greece. It was a dream that came true, to do Archaeology and live in the small and beautiful Cycladic islands, where we have been living for the last 4 years. We love being surrounded by the sea and enjoy experiencing the transitions of nature as seasons succeed one another. We currently live in Ios, a small island in the southern Cyclades, working in a very interesting prehistoric excavation, making toys in our studio, taking care of our garden and enjoying the sea!
