It has long been Lulu Lytle’s mission to preserve, celebrate, and continue the age-old traditions of craftspeople in Britain. As the founder of Soane Britain, Lulu has not only preserved traditional craft-making skills, but also champions new ones. What was once threatened, now thrives. Through her stewardship, a new generation of craftspeople, artisans, and artists are at work throughout the UK.
