Artist Interview: Hue

Hi, I'm Nicola Walker and Hue is my crafty little inspiration where my passion for colour, fabrics and  bags combines - giving me blissful, creative, child-free moments late into the night! I love the challenge of up cycling scarfs, tea towels, table cloths and clothes of yesteryear and combining them with textiles of today. Actually my most favorite thing is hunting, finding and matching the material! Most weekends you will find me at the beach with the kids or at a craft market - sometimes with the kids!

What can people expect to see from you on the day? This season, satchels have dominated my range. These have been sized to carry laptops. notebooks, and netbooks plus they have been utilised as baby bags, overnight bags and uni satchels. To compliment the technology carrying theme, I have recently released the 'Hue-tech clutch'- a gorgeous clutch-like padded protection for netbooks and ipads. As I dislike any wastage, I always have popular little coin purses made from the remnants and sweetened up with highlights of beads.

Do you have any future plans for your work, could you describe them? Hue's future revolves around the love of creating, colour and craft markets. Continuing with the popular satchels  and being inspired to design and make new bags - when the fancy takes me and the time allows!

What do you enjoy doing when you aren't busy making your wares? Outside of Hue, I have 3 gorgeous children that keep me on my toes, make me laugh and share my love of being outside and building sandcastles!
