Hatchet&Bear

From forest to table... For your field to fork. I think the start of any transformative process is like a box bulging at its hinges - and the contents; a volatile fizzing mixture who’s bubbles knock against the lid... is a tonic for the soul. In there are things to learn, mistakes to be made, revelations to savour. The magic is released once the box is open. There are many boxes. Shake, then open them all. https://www.instagram.com/p/B07lQGclvoN/?igshid=1m6x570emdiok

You don’t need me to tell you... it’s Mother’s Day. You might not even need me to inform you that it is also Trans Day Of Visibility either. I think EVERY day brings another opportunity to be a kind and thoughtful human. This is one of my favourite trees. I walk past it many times in the week, when I’m in the woods and I always stop here for a few minutes to breath deeply and remind myself to not be a dick. Peace and love to all 😊❤️🌳 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvr-d_3JV5S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pf5t0qjqdtew

When you ask me to adjust your bow tie... A shaving sharp chisel, a wooden mallet, the pleasure is all mine. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-qJQpFAx9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rr0ruzf7z76j

Wood-chip is the new beard and the art of merry mess-making. I be doing a little talk and Q+A at tomorrow’s Heritage Crafts Association General Conference in London on why making is good for you. I believe it is sold out, but if you’re going please do come and say hello! ‘When the Health Secretary starts to recommend ‘prescriptions’ for art and craft sessions instead of pills, you realise that at last other people are waking up to the value of making’. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwPxQSFpwb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cmre0cjypfz3
