Georgette Marshall - Her Journey, Creativity, and the Rise of Sauna Hats

Send us Fan Mail

Ep 84---

Florence sits down with Georgette, a Somerset-born creative who has been living just outside Boyle for the past ten years. Georgette grew up in the English countryside, left home at 17, worked in Egypt as a teenager, and spent years moving between cities before eventually landing in rural Wales and then Roscommon. 

Now she works part time at Leitrim Design House and has recently launched Crack and Crackle, a small handmade business producing quality sauna hats from her home. The conversation covers her love of craft, why sewing is a life skill the next generation is being denied, the explosion of sauna culture in Ireland, and why she believes handmade will always beat mass produced. 

A warm, honest and genuinely entertaining episode about creativity, community and following an idea all the way through.
