Master Upcycler Holly E. Brown
Ani Wells on Simply Suzette interviewed artist and denim upcycler Holly E. Brown, founder and owner of Clockworks Press. Brown discusses the struggles of working with used materials, and also working in the denim industry as a female.
“Well, we can always do more, right? I think one of the biggest things I have started to do and want to continue is being more transparent in my production process and sourcing. I think the consumer wants to understand the process it takes to make what they are buying. It’s important as a small business owner to educate the consumer on what it means to be sustainable. Saying you are working sustainably and actually doing it are not always in sync. Since I am working on used denim for my handbags and pillows, no new denim material is produced for my bag to be made,” said Holly.
She has also just released her second product, the W28 Tote.
