About Clare Gets Crafty

Clare Gets Crafty

Colourful and bright crochet for your home.

Hi I'm Clare! I love to play with colour and all of my items are made from strong and sustainable upcycled t-shirt yarn. My work is inspired by life with my energetic boys and I also draw a lot of inspiration from contemporary art and illustration.

I first taught myself to crochet in 2012, when my first son was a baby. I soon became addicted, spending every evening working on some project or other, and found crochet to be a great stress-reliever. Friends started to ask me to make things for them and it was a natural progression to open a shop here on Folksy. In September 2015 I quit my day job as an events manager and now work for myself, making lovely things from my tiny (and very messy!) craft room in the attic of our Victorian terrace in Birmingham.

As well as selling my work on Folksy you can find me at various craft fairs around the West Midlands. I also run workshops to pass on my passion for all things yarny!
