WHAT'S NEW AT W&M?
​Spring is a time for new beginnings.
Daffodils are blooming, chicks are chirping and ducklings are waddling around W&M HQ. We are having a year off lambs this year, and there is a strange calmness in the fields as a result, our ewes are enjoying a break.
Here at W & M, we have pondered how to keep our little patch of happiness on the financial track and have decided to downgrade our website so it no longer takes payments. This saves us a ridiculous amount of money each year, and the costs are not covered by the money we take on the site.
To all of you who usually buy directly from us and any new customers, you can still email us to place orders, and we can process your payments here. For others, our products are all available on our Etsy Shop; search Wild and Madder.
BRINGING NATURAL COLOUR TO LIFE
Childrens natural craft workshops
Teaching is both an occupation and an addiction. Wild and I love facilitating learning in the classroom, but we also enjoy getting out and about. Where other teachers count down to school holidays for a jolly good rest, we look forward to the opportunity to design and deliver inspiring children's courses using natural resources, creative skills and even a little bit of scientific magic.
Popular courses to date have included:
-
Indigo dyeing.
-
Charcoal production, drawing and marshmallow toasting.
-
Making natural inks and using them for calligraphy.
This year we are planning more exciting courses - perfect for all abilities ranging from young enthusiasts to art scholars.
BRINGING NATURAL COLOUR TO LIFE
Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go - unknown.
The writer of those words may be "unknown" but they are certainly very wise indeed:
​
As the vibrant greens in nature fade, the plethora of oranges, yellows, reds, and golds leave us in rapture.
Not to mention the plentiful harvest of ink-making materials and time... the time to come inside to brew, play, plan, stitch and create using this season's colour and those we harvested in the hazy days of summer.
