I’ve always been a fairly creative type of person. Drawing, painting, and scrapbooking as a kid were my preferred rainy-day activities, moving on to photography in my teenage years, and in later years I would recycle weathered materials and old T shirts either on my sewing machine, or with a giant wooden crochet needle in the form of “boodling”. I found crafting very therapeutic. But back in 2019 I discovered plant-based resins and through a series of unfortunate events (a victim of our own success you could say), I ended up taking on the task of fulfilling several product orders to make a shipment of resin pendants to Amazon in the USA. It was daunting and quite stressful – a lot of trial and error failures to overcome, but I fell in love with the process, right down to sourcing eco-friendly packaging materials. Daily walks out and about near my home village in Sussex inspired a number of new variations and ideas and the Harmonite brand was born.
