I'm starting the week with the first in a brand-new series focusing on independent, minimalist-style makers across a range of different categories.

Any decorating project, big or small, can seem daunting. How do you work out where to begin? How do you know you'll like the results?

Craft kits & online workshops to try at home
Recently I've found myself yearning to do something creative just for the sake of it. I used to spend hours drawing and painting, but nowadays any creativity tends to be channelled straight into my work. Don't get me wrong: I love what I do, and I'm lucky to be able to make a living from my passion for design, writing and photography. But I miss getting absorbed in something . . .
