FOCUS: Mail on Sunday Feature

Here is our beautiful and incredibly talented Editor, Anna Stassen, talking about UK Handmade for the Mail on Sunday. A big thank you to NING, the company behind the social platform we use for our forum http://ukhandmade.ning.com who kindly brought the opportunity to us, we are very honoured to have been asked.

We believe that our community of 3000+ (and growing daily) members reflects a shift in attitude towards handmade products here in the UK. Mass produced is no longer synonymous with 'value' thanks to the handmade community reclaiming its true meaning - quality, love, care and attention to detail, customer service with a personal touch from the maker themselves and a unique story of its own to boot!

Here at UK Handmade we strive to provide invaluable support and promotional tools to the many designer-makers who would otherwise remain hidden. We all need to continue to work hard to get 'handmade' into the mainstream but as a strong community we can do just that!

If you wish to help spread the message please join our buy handmade campaign and tell us your story!
