Elegant Originals - Caroline Townsend-Sawley

​Caroline walks us through her workshop where the most unusual combination of glass and textiles have been created.
​Elegant Originals started off as a hobby when Caroline was recuperating from a long term illness, and her self help therapy has turned into an unusual boutique business ranging from scarves to gowns to glassware. We took a quick look round her workshop and asked her a few questions about running a business.

I asked her about some of the things she had to get accomplish etc while getting her business off the ground.
