About Happy Makes

It's me

Hi there,

My name is Caroline and I’m an artist living in Lancashire, England. My work is inspired by nature and patterns, and my favourite pieces have plenty of rainbow colours and texture. I particularly like interactive and playful artwork.

For several years I have focused on transient ‘women’s art’, like fibre-crafts including spinning, natural dyeing, weaving, knitting and crochet.

I spin intuitively, working with the fibre as it comes and resisting the urge to over prepare it and turn it into a uniform yarn.

Currently I’m experimenting in different mediums, including clay, watercolour and digital art.

Most importantly, I find great joy and healing in creativity, and I encourage everyone to sing a song, bake a cake, paint or dance – to be creative in any way that works for them.

I’m pleased to run workshops, talk to groups and take commissions.
