Some people are built to create – to shape their future with their own two hands. The Working Artisans’ Club is a celebration of that fact.

Over the course of this year, HUCK has met the craftsmen and women who choose to live life the artisanal way. They shape boards, sew suits and build beautiful objects inspired by their passion for the outdoors. And they make life better for us all.

In 1952, with a needle and thread in one hand and eyes firmly on the surf, Jack O’Neill invented the wetsuit, so that he could stay out in the water longer. His simple ambition led to an extraordinary future, both for himself and the surfing world as a whole. The Working Artisan’s Club is the next chapter of that story. It’s about the makers of today, and the future that they’re shaping.

The final part in our series features crafters Francli. Based in Falmouth in Cornwall, Ali Goodman and Franki Basely upcycle old materials to create functional workwear and accessories for their fellow craftspeople.

The Working Artisan’s Club, a week-long exhibition presented by HUCK x O’Neill, opens at 71a Leonard Street, London on 19th September 2013.
