• Fuse Crafters - A group of enthusiastic craftspeople based in Bolton, with regular meet-ups, fairs and events.
• Glass From The Heart - Rachel Alker does some beautiful stained glass work, s tandard patterns and bespoke. Demonstrations at events offer the chance to try it for yourself with her portable work-shop.
• Ken Walters Digital Art Gallery - Ken Walters would, I think, be happy to be described as one of my stranger friends, and probably thinks the same of me. Multi-talented, I used to know him as a bodger, he's a real live Viking, and he's currently playing with digital art and web-stuff at a level I don't even start to comprehend. Fantastic stuff, literally!
• Phillip Gregson, Wheelwright. - I've known Phill since he enlisted my son Hugh to help set up his pole-lathe demo at their Primary School Summer Fair. There aren't many green or woody folk in the northwest who don't know his grandfather, Edward Crowhurst, and Phill having taken on the family mantle is already almost as well know in his own right as a wheelwright and bodger.
