People who still know how to make things
The workshop behind a house, on a farm or in a small industrial unit can be easy to overlook.
Inside it may be somebody making furniture, forging metal, binding books or working at a craft that has taken years to learn.
Understead makes those people visible because knowing what can still be made around Bridport is part of knowing what kind of place it is.
Why these local makers are here
A place is partly made by the people who grow there, make there, trade there and give residents a way to buy something from somebody nearby rather than from an anonymous supply chain.
Understead makes those people visible enough to use.
