Founded in 1985, Wendy personally produces flies for fishing, framed displays and fly-styled gifts, also fly-styled greeting cards and unique flystyled jewellery.
After working at major craft shows and game fairs throughout the country her quality products have gained much recognition and are very collectable.
Her current claim to fame is three TV programmes - one being a network TV programme called 'Makers' with Jan Leaming, a spot on 'Midlands Today' and 'Down to Earth' for Welsh TV.
Wendy prides herself on being able to turn her hand to tie almost any fly pattern, some of which date back nearly 300 years. She demonstrates this skilful art at craft and game fairs all over the UK to keep old traditions alive.
The old traditional patterns are the ones she frames, with her framed trout and salmon flies now some of the best quality collections currently available in the UK.
'Genuine work made entirely by herself' carrying a signature of authenticity. Trade enquiries are welcome.
