UK Handmade is 3!

Last Saturday UK Handmade celebrated it's third birthday with a party held at the Create Place in Bethnal Green, London, all organised by my fellow partner in crime and editor, Anna Stassen. She had done a wonderful job, with lots and lots and LOTS of cake and sandwiches; the Create Place had kindly put on a few workshops and I had taken down a load of crafty stuff for the children to do to keep them occupied. Best of all was a stunning display of handmade items by Zoe Hannam which is a new collaboration for UK Handmade and Wemake and very exciting.

It was wonderful to meet most of our team in the flesh as we all work remotely from all over the UK, as well as a few new friends and after three years of growing stronger and stronger it was proof for me that we are doing things right. Next year looks to be an even better one as UK Handmade really takes shape and grows into an organisation that truly has something to offer the thousands of small independant businesses that support us. I think we all feel very proud of what we have achieved over the last three years and the sacrifices don't feel quite so huge.
