Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Lulu Jacobs Turned Pottery Into a Full Time Creative Career
Q: Was documenting the early journey on Instagram something you planned from the start?
She initially resisted social media, but eventually embraced posting to tell the story, learn from the community, and share processes honestly rather than using it purely as a sales funnel.
How Helen Welch Built One of London’s Most Respected Furniture Schools
Q: How do you view apprenticeships and the current training landscape?
Apprenticeships today are often too short to produce fully rounded tradespeople; there is a need for longer, more comprehensive training that combines practical shop work with broader industry knowledge.
How Helen Welch Built One of London’s Most Respected Furniture Schools
Q: What trends have you noticed among your students since you started the school?
Students come for varied reasons, many seeking a hands-on, screen-free activity rather than a specific project, with some coming back for advanced courses and others pursuing broader craft skills over time.
How Helen Welch Built One of London’s Most Respected Furniture Schools
Q: Tell me a little bit about the school.
The school offers a compact, intensive set of joinery and furniture courses designed to teach fundamentals quickly, with a mix of core skills classes and project-based options, aiming to give students a solid foundation and hands-on experience.
Started With No Plan & Built a Sustainable Timber Business from Scratch with Ben Goldsmith
Q: What are your plans for growth and how will technology play a role?
Plans include expanding space, separating the tableware and furniture brands, and upgrading the CNC to increase efficiency and consistency, enabling more high-volume work while preserving craftsmanship.
