About
Bonjour!
I'm Julie, I moved to Sheffield from France 6 years ago.
I run the Craft Lab project from home while being an architect part-time and looking after Elio, my two year old son.
Craft
Lab started in 2015 to create more opportunities to do craft with a
purpose to work against isolation and empower people with valuable craft
skills.
I've run workshops for organisations such as Sheffield Children Hospital, Sheffield University, S1 Artspace and Mind Sheffield.
It's
when I became a mother that I decided to focus on delivering activities
for families. I couldn't find a weaning weekly planner for Elio, so I
designed one and just like that started making goods for children and
the young at heart.
I
use sustainably made paper and fabric on which I cut and print playful
designs. Most of our materials are reused in workshops and craft kits.
50% of the profits made will be reinvested in the project with the idea of providing free workshops for families when possible.
