Sally Pointer - Heritage education
bringing you objects, skills, and inspiration from the past, to enrich the future
We are sorry to have to announce that Gareth died on Friday 26 March 2021 after being diagnosed with cancer in the autumn of 2020.
Sally had surgery for breast cancer on 30 March and is also currently doing an MSc in Experimental Archaeology, so between healing and university is currently working a bit more slowly than usual. Thank you for your patience and support!
Pure wool mittens based on historic references, knitted sleeves (coming soon) and reticules both fancy and practical. Purses are made to order in jewel tones of silk, I can also make woollen reticules and a wide variety of other styles. The correct silk yarn is extremely hard to source, and whilst I currently have a good collection, some shades are getting hard to obtain. Please contact me before ordering to check I have exactly the colours your require for your reticule. Made to order purses may take some time to complete.
As you may know, we are balancing work this year with Gareth's cancer treatment and are bringing 'last orders' forward slightly to fit round his appointments. As of 6pm Sunday 6th December, we are largely closed until after Midwinter, you are very welcome to still order items on this page, but I may not be able to start work on them until the New Year. Thank you for your patience, it is very much appreciated.
