Wildfelter customers will be familiar with our love of natural packaging , preserved floral finds and general tree hugger range!  

Bring married to a green enthusiast who loves the technical side and getting no discouragement from me, it’s fair to say we have tried a bit of everything from building our own windturbine to powering the studio to having an electric vehicle.

We are developing even more compostable products and are happy to share with any biz our suppliers to get more small tree huggers out there making the change . Time and again we have found cost reducing ways of going green and well prettier! 

Hand made is by its nature more environmental conscious and ethical way to support your village ! I’m am proud to be one of the Blackwater Valley Makers  in my own community and worked with the members to bring a green policy to our premises and other members also. We also team up with other small makers for buying power where possible to reduce the costs.
