Pin Pin Finds' stall is always brimming with pretties, which are a super popular fixture at Norwich Makers Market. Natasha is an incredibly professional designer who generously shares her experience and knowledge of the industry.
NMM - What do you design and make and what is your background?
I make laser cut jewellery from birch wood. I went to university in Norwich and studied Visual Studies, then worked for a jewellers. I interned in London with Tatty Devine but decided Norwich was the place for me so moved back and started my own brand.
NMM - Where are you based and could you describe a typical working day.
I work full time self employed in my little Norwich home office. My days are normally packed full of answering emails, making jewellery to order and getting ready for craft fairs at the weekends.
