We are craftwork was founded in 2007 by fashion designer Caroline Smithson and architect Mehrnoosh Khadivi.
The pair met in 2004 but it wasn't until late 2007 that the weekly you-teach-me-crochet-I'll-teach-you-knitting craft evenings were born.
Here they could practice a type of work where useful and decorative items are made by hand using only simple tools.
It became apparent that this home handicrafts and back to basics ethos could be applied to items that may be functional or strictly decorative, including architecture, interiors and reclamation.
The duo draw on their professional training, interests in practicing established techniques and their upbringings in Berwick Upon Tweed, a town known for it's witches and Iran's mystical persian culture for their inspiration.
The use of hands and lack of machines impart an individuality to each item they make which is lacking in manufactured goods.
And thus We are craftwork began in ernest, pom pom-ing and patch working it's way through London.
