Splinter Group to Furniture School: Woodworking, Business and Belonging
Description
In this episode of Creatives Like Us I sit down with Helen Welch, founder of London Furniture School and a woodworker of 42 years. Helen shares how leaving school early led her to a community carpentry scheme which set the course for her career. We talk about her journey through building control back to making, what it's like being one of the few women and people of colour in craft industries, and why visibility matters so much in changing that. Helen also gets real about business, community and what she'd tell her younger self.
