GET CRAFTY ◆ SHOPPING A crafty little business WE TALK TO THREE WOMEN WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED BY THE BOOM IN CREATIVE HOBBIES ‘I wanted to inspire people’ WORDS: ALICE NEWBOLD | PHOTOGRAPHS: ROD SHONE, NICK WILLIAMS MOTHER-OF-TWO, LINDA WILLIAMS, WHO’S 49, CONVERTED SOME DISUSED OUTBUILDINGS IN WALKERN, HERTFORDSHIRE, INTO A SPACE WHERE SHE COULD SHOWCASE AND SHARE HER KNITTING AND CROCHET TALENT WITH OTHERS. ‘Even when my children were small, I’d always have a piece of knitting or crochet on the go. Never one to sit idle, even a night in front of the telly was turned into an opportunity to recreate a trinket I’d once seen and fancied a tinker with. Spotting my productivity, eight years ago my next-door neighbour suggested that I think about putting my crafting talents to use on a full-time basis.’ STARTING OUT ‘I enquired about a row of disused outbuildings in my village, with the intention of running knitting and crochet workshops there. And so I met my business partner Daniella, the owner of the outbuildings. Fast forward one year, with Daniella on the business and marketing side and me as the creative impetus, and our shop Jolie was born.’ SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE ‘Jolie (www.jolie-home.co.uk) is about inspiring people in all aspects of their life. As well as our workshops where customers can learn new skills, we also sell vintage furniture, Danish sourced items and tiny handmade trinkets. As a result, Pattern-cutting is paramount; we need to see how things fit Linda, left, with her Jolie business partner, Daniella, right 10 | MARCH 2013 10-13 reallife_craftersFINAL.indd 10 28/1/13 13:50:09 http://www.jolie-home.co.uk
