Artico design and making is my creation; the result of my passions, skills, background and drive for something different.
The artico workshop is based in rural Lincolnshire, set in the almost idyllic tranquillity of a small village, yet within easy reach of the essential madness of city life.
My background is in the fashion business, starting as a designer. My career has covered design management, design & sales co-ordination, retail buying and consultancy work.
My passions include travel, art and a celebration of imagination. Through work or pleasure I have visited many exciting and exotic places around the world, each leaving a unique memory and a lasting impression of colours, textiles, decoration and atmosphere, that is re-captured in 'artico'.
