• PEOPLE ARE TALKING •
Here’s what people are saying about “Resources For The Creative Traveller”:
- Spin-Off Magazine (US), Editor’s Note, Summer 2002 issue
“We just couldn’t help mentioning “Resources for the Creative Traveller” by Kathy Brassill... If
you are headed to
Great Britain or Ireland in the near future you many want a copy of this book. It offers resources such as guilds and associations; places to visit including mills, museums, historical sites, craft centers and galleries, fairs and events, shops and fiber sources; plus workshops, courses, and websites. These much needed points of reference are often missing from the everyday travel guides. We hear tell that Handcrafted Holidays has other books in the works for the creative traveler so we will keep our eyes peeled.”
- Jenny Dean, Natural Dyer, Bedfordshire, England
(Note: Jenny specializes in natural dyeing and dye plants. She has written a number of books including
“Wild Colour”, which is available in the US.)
“Many thanks for sending me a copy of your resources book for travellers to GB & Ireland. It is truly comprehensive & of
interest to locals too, as many of the entries
are new to me.... I do congratulate you on this enterprise, which clearly represents more work than I would care to contemplate! Thanks again & many good wishes.”
- Bill Chitty, Hilltop, Kent, England
“Thank you very much for the copy of your booklet, very impressive!...We are spreading the word about your booklet and
hope that we will be able to place an order with you soon...Thanks again, with every good wish for a brilliant idea very well realised.”
- Clare Beck, The Crafts Council, London
“ I think the information that you are giving out is very well researched and I am sure many people would find it
useful.”
- Lesley Blythe-Lord, Editor of “Echoes”, the Journal of the International Feltmakers Association, England
“Kathy Brassill has carefully researched weavers,
spinners, dyers,
and feltmakers in England, Scotland, Northern & Southern Ireland and Wales. She has taken into account many aspects of the textile and fibre world.....The IFA and some of it’s members are well represented among many other well revered Guilds and Associations.....Resources For The Creative Traveller..contains an absolute fund of knowledge enclosed between the covers, making it a very useful source of information which will certainly join my collection of Factory Shopping and National Trust Guidebooks.”
- Paivi Suomi, handweaver and guide to the “All Fiber Arts” website
“Kathy Brassill, owner of Handcrafted Holidays, has compiled an excellent resource book
for those who like to
combine their passion for fibre with their vacation. This edition focuses on travel in Great Britain and Ireland. Kathy has travelled extensively throughout the region and gives in-depth info on what you will find on your holiday...This 48-page book is compact and well organized. Each place that you can visit lists the address, contact name, telephone number, email and website info, and brief description of what you will find there......reading through this guide, I’m ready to pack my bags...”
