Hi, I’m Linda—the creator and storyteller behind this website and the handmade products you’ll find here.
Creativity has always been a part of my life, shaping the way I see the world and express myself. What started as a simple love for making tiny cards for my family grew into a journey of artistic exploration, leading me through different forms of creative expression.
My formal training includes a master’s degree in Language and Literature from Bangor University, and I have spent years working as an English teacher, sharing my love for words, storytelling, and the power of language. For a time, I took a break from teaching to stay at home and educate our children, an experience that deepened my appreciation for learning in all its forms. Now, alongside my creative work, I also freelance, teaching English and creative writing classes, helping others find their voice and develop their own storytelling skills.
Beyond my academic background, I have also completed a two-year training in Feng Shui and Flower Therapy, which has given me a deeper understanding of how space, energy, and nature influence our well-being. These studies have shaped my approach to both art and life, reinforcing my belief that beauty, balance, and creativity are deeply connected.
At first, I refined my card designs and even started a small business to sell them, but they didn’t gain much traction. Instead of seeing this as a setback, it became a turning point. In the process, I discovered pottery, and from the moment I first shaped clay with my hands, I knew I had found something special. People began showing interest in my pieces, and pottery soon became my primary creative focus. Over time, I added linoleum printing to my artistic pursuits, another evolving passion that allows me to experiment with texture and design in new ways.
Today, I create and sell a range of handmade products, each piece reflecting my love for art, craftsmanship, and storytelling. I also offer classes, sharing the joy of creating with others—because I truly believe that everyone has a creative spark waiting to be explored.
One of my most exciting creative challenges was designing and building this website from scratch. It was a completely new learning experience—sometimes frustrating, often rewarding—but ultimately, it became another way to bring my artistic vision to life. Just like working with clay or carving a lino block, building this space was about shaping something meaningful from simple elements.
When I’m not making art, you’ll probably find me in my garden, hands in the soil, enjoying the fresh air, with my ever-curious cats keeping me company. And, of course, there’s always a book nearby, ready to inspire new ideas.
