Writer and editor
Nell Hartigan
Nell writes Longhand. She spent eleven years as a magazine production editor before leaving to rent a bench in a shared workshop, where she makes furniture badly, books adequately and bread reliably.
Authors
One writer, and friends who know a trade better than she does.
Guest contributor, letterpress printer
Tomasz Wieland
Tomasz runs a one-person letterpress shop from a former dairy. He sets type for wedding stationery, poetry pamphlets and the occasional parish newsletter, and has opinions about word spacing.
Guest contributor, textile mender
Ines Okafor
Ines repairs knitwear, linen and the shirts people refuse to give up, from a table in a shopfront that is open on Thursdays. She teaches visible mending in a village hall and keeps a drawer of other people's buttons.
