    Springline

    There is a saying in shoemaking - ‘the last comes first’ and it was fabulous to work with one of the last ‘last’ manufacturers in Britain recently. Springline is one of those incredibly photogenic locations and it was a real pleasure to take some photographs for a new website at their Northampton workshops recently. Springline website

    This year I have been working on a secret project for Northampton museum .

    A friend of mine is having a classic boat restored in Norfolk and took me along to see the workshop. I was amazed to find a huge selection of classic wooden boat, of all shapes and sizes and one small lady working on them. Abbey is what I would describe as a ‘pint sized dynamo’ and her work is simply incredible. Abbey’s website
