Handmade and Heritage is a Northamptonshire based company that creates hand crafted homewares as well as vintage finds and upcycled furniture. Its creator and designer Amiee Bowker started out as a Milliner after studying at Kensington and Chelsea College. After the birth of her first child she became a stay-at-home-mum and began developing her business using self taught traditional techniques.
Inspired by her rural surroundings she sketches and photographs visitors to her garden and creatures spotted out and about. They are then turned into either an embroidered piece or painted on to a piece of quality furniture. The free-hand nature of her work means that each product has its own unique feel and style.
