Meet the Trader<br />

A market day in <strong>Louth</strong> is a special experience; the<br />

bustling market is a lively meeting place for both<br />

young and old. It is the perfect spot to pick up fresh<br />

local produce, alongside goods for the home and<br />

special handmade items.<br />

Adie Harrison from The Green Craft Company can<br />

be found on <strong>Louth</strong> market every Friday and some<br />

Saturdays.<br />

The Green Craft Company is a group of<br />

craftspeople who are passionate about the<br />

environment. Adie, from <strong>Louth</strong>, established the<br />

company in 2009 after he had been trading solo for<br />

two years before. The ethos of The Green Craft<br />

Company is recycled, natural and reclaimed. Adie<br />

works hard to ensure no item has travelled any<br />

dedicated road miles.<br />

Adie, a painter, specialises in upholstered wall art<br />

and clocks; using old CDs and LPs covered with<br />

prints from his paintings. Adie now represents<br />

over 20 local artists on his stall including; Kettlers<br />

Cottage from Alford; a range of soaps and natural<br />

beauty products; a local glass artist specialising<br />

in glassware reclaimed from windows and<br />

greenhouses and a <strong>Louth</strong> wood turner.<br />

The Green Craft Company is constantly growing,<br />

so the stall never looks the same as items are<br />

always being added and rotated. Adie explains;<br />

“There is something therapeutic about setting up in<br />

the morning and I love seeing people stop in their<br />

tracks when something catches their eye.”<br />

The Green Craft Company was a runner up in the<br />

<strong>East</strong> <strong>Lindsey</strong> Community Awards for Community<br />

and Business Partnership Working. When Adie isn’t<br />

on his stall, he can either be found engrossed in<br />

creating his products or running craft workshops.<br />
