Samantha Bryan lives and works in Sheffield which isn't far from Leeds. I'm a great fan of her handcrafted fairies and seeing them for sale at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park was probably the moment when I realised that I could sell my dolls.
It would be great to go and meet Samantha Bryan and I suggested that the meeting could be a 'faefolk alliance', form a meeting in fair form where my dolls go to her studio to make friends with her fairies. I'm not sure if this was too informal and forward, but judging by her Facebook/social media updates, she regularly speaks as though her fairies are real and gives them all names/personalities so I don't think my approach was inappropriate.
She has a studio next door to Cari Morton (Cari and Carl) who was a tutor on the Fashion course on my Foundation, so this may be a way in!
I wish she had an actual email address so I could send her a direct email, I don't trust these website message boards. I do have the address of her studio though, so I could drop by or post a pixie to her!
