Sharon, Keeper of Colour in the Storm
Sharon stands as one of those rare souls who turns limitation into
luminosity. Based in Bristol, she is the creative engine behind Gert
Lush Designs and co‑founder of Mightie Makers—a woman whose home hums
like a one‑person studio full of thread, paint, glitter, and pure
rebellious joy.
Life has thrown its fair share of shadows her way. Chronic health
conditions keep her close to home, but Sharon refused the dimming.
Instead, she gathered fabric, brushes, wire, and willpower—and built a
craft practice that radiates colour enough to fight the grey.
What began as a way to stay grounded became a vibrant, ever‑growing constellation of beautiful, useful things:
• Eco‑friendly drawstring bags—bright, planet‑kind, endlessly practical.
• Cosmetic pouches, handbags, zipper bags, and more—made with heart, humour, and a maker’s precision.
• Hand‑painted artwork and cards—each one a hit of colour therapy.
• Wirework jewellery—her first craft‑love, still glinting for those who chase sparkle.
Sharon’s work is full of intention: joy where she can make it, beauty
where she can build it, usefulness woven through every stitch. She
welcomes commissions too—whether you want a custom bag size or a piece
built around a fabric that already makes you smile.
Her pieces carry resilience, colour, and that unmistakable Bristol cheek.
In the Guild, she stands as proof that creativity isn’t merely a
pastime—it’s a survival skill, a pulse, a way to stay upright when the
wind howls.
Step into her world.
You’ll grin, you’ll glow, and yes—you’ll probably leave with a new bag.
