Interview with 'Sausage Dog'

Today I had a meeting and interview with an old friend of mine called Harriet Godden, she makes and sells her own handmade work under the name of 'Sausage Dog'.


Harriet mainly works with reclaimed and recycled materials to create her plush animals and creatures. Her creations are extremely idiosyncratic and have strong links to her painting and fine art background, which was her initial creative outlet and something which she is still actively pursuing. Harriet successfully ran a shop selling her creations in Afflecks Palace, Manchester but decided to move her business online and the odd craft fair in order to free up her time.


If you are interested in any of Harriet's work she can be found on Etsy through this link to her shop: Sausage Dog.


I have been extremely lucky with all the people that I have had the opportunity to interview so far and Harriet was no exception. She knows exactly who she is and this is reflected in the individual style and quality of her work. We spoke about her business, her motivations and some of her future projects. Harriet works so hard in all of her projects that I'm sure she'll be even more successful in all of her creative activities. Please go to her Etsy store and the support the artist.
