Hello London, Hello UK 🇬🇧 — A New Chapter for Cravelholic

Moving to London has been one of the biggest changes in my life — new streets, new culture, and a completely different pace. But in many ways, it also feels like the right place to continue a journey that started years ago.

My story with woodworking began in 2018 in Hong Kong. I was introduced to traditional mortise and tenon joinery — a technique where pieces of wood are joined together without screws or nails, yet remain incredibly strong and precise. That moment changed how I saw craftsmanship. It wasn’t just about making something — it was about understanding how things fit together, thoughtfully and intentionally.

In 2019, I travelled to Taiwan to take a woodworking course. It was there that I properly stepped into the craft. I learnt how to sharpen and use chisels, practised traditional joinery techniques, and built my first pieces — a small stool and a storage box. Those days in the workshop were focused and deeply satisfying. They gave me not just skills, but direction.

After returning, I founded Cravelholic — a space to continue exploring woodworking and to share that appreciation with others. Over time, it grew into more than just making objects. I began hosting workshops, working on custom-made pieces, and connecting with people who share a love for craft and making.

Then came 2024 — and with it, a move to London.

Relocating meant pressing pause for a while. Settling into a new environment takes time, especially somewhere as culturally rich and fast-moving as London. But after finding my footing, I’m excited to say that Cravelholic is back — with a clearer direction and new ideas.

What’s new?

• Thoughtfully selected and designed stationery and tools

• Improved delivery and ordering experiences in the website

• A growing blog to share stories, processes, and insights into craft

  
  

Cravelholic is evolving into something beyond an online shop — my space to explore craftsmanship, learn, and connect.

What stays the same?

• 🪵 A focus on craft and material

• 🛠 Hands-on workshops

• 📐 Custom-made pieces

• 🖨 3D printing services

• 
  

London has a strong community of makers, designers, and craft enthusiasts, and I’m looking forward to becoming part of it.

If you’re based in London (or anywhere in the UK) and have an interest in woodworking, making, or simply appreciate well-crafted objects, I’d love to hear from you. And if you happen to be from Hong Kong too — even better.

Feel free to get in touch — let’s build something together.
