Booj Beak - An equally potted history
- A childhood spent making, painting, dancing and a fascination with her mothers button box was the perfect foundation for her eventual partnership with Nick.
- Booj went to art college where she specialized in tapestry weaving with paper. She wove 3D tea sets, 3D cream cakes and 3D strawberries (yes honestly!) After leaving college she realized how very commercial this was and took up a part time job at a dental practice!
