A shared love of craft
After working together on many projects of the years, an idea began to hatch for a book that celebrated local makers. People that have a genuine passion for what they do and a shared love of their craft. Just like us.
The Designers
MyttonWilliams
We are a brand and design studio, helping organisations to stand out, tell their story, communicate what they offer and why it matters. We do this through brand communications: creating, developing and managing brands and how they work across all media. Our ethos and aim as a company is to produce brands and designs that are simple, smart and timeless. The simplicity – trying to reduce everything down to its essence – can be hard work but is always worth it.
The Printers
Opal
At Opal we produce printed communications that not only communicate visually, but also provoke our other senses, even smell! Translating a message through print starts from the moment a piece of work is picked up; this is achieved through the use of the finest papers, creative techniques and carefully considering the purpose for which the work is intended.
