At Hedgerow & Hearthcraft, the making always begins outdoors.

The Hedgerow Diary is a quiet record of the small seasonal moments that shape my work: the first primroses under the hawthorn, blackthorn blossom bright against a grey sky, moss glowing on the woodland floor.

These are the simple signs that the landscape is turning from one season to the next.

Some days it is a field of daffodils beside an old churchyard. Other days it might be a handful of seedheads gathered on a walk or the scent of wild garlic in the shade of the woods.

This diary is simply a place to notice them.

Many of the materials, colours and ideas that find their way into Hedgerow & Hearthcraft pieces begin here.
