Modern British Craft

Folksy is a place to buy and sell hand crafted or designed work from UK designer-makers.  Folksy is run by James Boardwell and has been since it started in 2008.  The inspiration for Folksy came from seeing the energy in the craft communities in the UK as well as North America and Australia in the early 2000s. At the same time the web was offering ways to crowd source solutions to problems and James, having worked in researching and designing digital services for the BBC decided to build a great place for people to showcase and sell their craft work.
