Interview with Rag Thug Crafts

Had another great interview today, this time it was with Faye Scott-Farrington, who creates and makes under the name of Rag Thug Crafts.
Not only is she a crafter but also an artist, doing an open university course in Art History and also has an evening job. Faye is also a member of Fuse Crafters, who are a craft collective based within Bolton. Being so active meant Faye had lots of great things to say about her various pursuits, she is a perfect candidate for my research as she works independently and within networks, she also adopts a DIY ethic and has well rounded view of what she does. If you are interested in her work she has recently opened a folksy store, which you can find here: Rag Thug Crafts
One of the best things about this interview despite Faye having such strong opinions on her work and what she does, was the context of where the interview was held. This particular interview was held while she was running her stall at Islington Mill Craft Fair, Salford. This was beneficial to me as it managed to capture the experience and nuance of the environment, this makes the context of this interview particularly unique. We were interrupted during the interview a few times by customers (some even joined in with our conversation) which only gave depth to the interview.
I wanted to take a few pics of Faye at her stall, but she was a bit shy as she only had gotten a few hours sleep the night before due to her demanding evening job, although she did let me take a few pics of just the stall -

Faye is so talented, active and opinionated that it made such a great interview and I'm really glad that I was given the opportunity for this particular interview to be in my data set, as I think it will give some real value to my research.
