Wild Minders notice the stories in nature and carry them forward.

I transform stories from nature into handmade wearable art and home décor. Wild Minder is a symbolic brand rooted in nature and folklore. Each piece is crafted by me, a Suffolk-based textile artist.

New at Wild Minder

All my pieces are lovingly handmade and rooted in the nature and folklore of the UK countryside. These are more than artworks — they are stories.

Each design has a fabric painted base then is brought to life through free-motion embroidery on organic cotton calico.

From one-of-a-kind clothing to Wild Minder talismans, bag charms, and patches, I create purposeful pieces that celebrate the wild, the handmade, and the beauty of giving old stories new life.

Explore the collection below and find a piece that resonates with your love of nature and mystery.

As heard on Suffolk Sound Radio!

Wild Minder was spotted at the Little Makers market by one of the presenters of Suffolk Sound radio. She saw my vision, and loved my pieces, and asked me to do an interview there and then!

Returning Customer
Beautifully made with love and care. I brought this little cross body bag for my holiday and it has proved to be perfect. The attachments and clips have proved to be boon for hanging my keys/sun glasses/dog lead from. More importantly it is made from fabric that has been given a new life. The lining is so unique, it’s made from coffee bags!

I absolutely love my new scrappy bag! It’s so cute, well made, and it’s the perfect size for my purse, keys and phone. I messaged the seller to discuss the lining design and asked for something purple, and she had a lovely floral pattern which compliments the bag perfectly. Highly recommend!
