Life in the Making is a weekly newsletter about living, growing and making close to the land, by me, Kat Goldin - writer, photographer and founder of Life in the Making Press and Gartur Stitch Farm.
From a childhood exploring the woods of rural Iowa to my current life on a windy smallholding at the edge of the Scottish Highlands, I have been passionate about the natural world. My meandering path through Human Ecology, craft and publishing has brought me to running our smallholding, publishing small zines and running events centred on our passion for growing and making and documenting our life on the land through words, film and photographs.
This newsletter is a love letter to this corner of the world and the life we lead with our four children, herd of goats, garden, bees, mess, yarn, Loretta the pig, dogs and community. We want to bring as many people as we can with us on the journey through stories, books, online courses and events.
