■ LINDSAY ROGERS had been embroidering and tatting as a hobby since childhood. In 1987 she joined the international organisation ‘Ring of Tatters’ and was increasingly sought out for help with design and technique. Lindsay’s mastery of the craft and deft skill at conjuring up her own wonderful designs and patterns highlighted her expertise and she was invited to teach in Japan where some of her work has been exhibited.

■ LYN MORTON is an expert tatter with over 40 years of experience. She has run her own online company through which she sold numerous high-quality tatting designs, materials and books. She has also taught in the UK and US, earning a reputation as an enthusiastic and popular teacher. Now retired, she hosts a monthly ‘open house’ for tatters of all abilities.

■ BEN LAW, woodsman, craftsman, eco-builder, teacher and writer, lives and works in Prickly Nut Wood in West Sussex, UK. The building of his unique woodland home was featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs in the UK and was voted by viewers as the most popular episode ever. In addition to the coppicing of his own woodland, he runs courses on sustainable woodland management and permaculture and trains apprentices.

The projects that follow are inspiring, and accessible too, whether you want to whittle your own spoons or go as far as constructing a timber-frame caravan.

LUCKY NUMBER

Christian had two brothers and two sisters but Ginette, later known as Catherine, was his favourite. She gave him the nickname Tian. In turn, his favourite day was St Catherine’s Day. She was named a Chevalier of the Legion d’Honneur for her work with the resistance in the Second World War.

Christian gave one of his debut lines the name ‘8’ because the tiny waist, the enhanced hips and the bigger bust looked a little like the fi gure eight.

The House of Dior was founded in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, in an eight-storey building with eight workshops, on 8 October 1946.

Christian self-penned books so he could put the record right about his life and work.
