From the Little Mesters yards to the cutlery gracing tables worldwide, our proud city of makers is steeped in industrial heritage.

This tradition continues to thrive - and we’re proud to be able to help our partners take their craft into the 21st century.

Our work with Ernest Wright, who’ve been handcrafting scissors in Sheffield since 1902, is helping the firm understand why their time-honoured processes work so well ✂️

We explore the irreplaceable joy of making things by hand – and how this enjoyment leads some craftspeople to undervalue their products.
