Katherine J. Porter

Master of thatching, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇦🇺 Perth, Western Australia, Australia
  • Little Starlight Works
  • Since 1982
  • English, Spanish
My trade is thatching. I opened my own shop in 1982 in Perth and I'm still there most mornings. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I always make time for a proper cup of tea. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

If I fixed something for you, I hope it's still holding.

What gifts mean to Katherine: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
