Hi John, thank you for taking time out to answer a few questions for us. We love watching you on TV, you have such a great way of demonstrating and teaching. How did you get into working on the telly? Sue Wilson came across my blog John Next Door whilst I was living in Spain and we started to correspond. I loved her stamps, dies and all her work ( she is still a Craft Idol for me lol) she liked what I was creating. I joined the Design team at Creative expressions on my return to the Uk, and when Sue found out I did amateur dramatics then the deal was sealed, she realised I could work on stage, so TV should be possible. I know you are busy up and down the country - do you still love running workshops and doing the retail shows? I love meeting all the people who attend the workshops, demo days and retail events I can’t get enough of it! I find that working with other crafters gives me fresh ideas and perspectives on my work. Like all crafters I find I thrive in the company ...
