Or should that be W.I.S.E??? I thought it would be fun to go through Folksy and look for great pieces from all over this creative island of ours. We still have traditions running throughout the whole of the UK from The Orkney's to Cornwall and Newcastle through to Llandudno and Belfast - it's great to see that they are thriving in all their various ways.
I also enjoy seeing traditional materials also being used in a more contemporary way which, hopefully, will encourage these crafts to continue.
We have some really talented people in the UK and there's even more on Folksy itself so it's well worth a visit!
