About

Hello! I'm April Hudson. I'm a northerner currently living in Alberta.

Since I was a child, I've been deeply connected to the natural world. I spent my childhood on the land in the Yukon, hunting, fishing and harvesting berries.

I began sewing at a young age, and as I grew up, I added other skills and passions: tanning leather, processing parts of fish and animals that often get wasted, and figuring out how to turn those parts into something beautiful.

I love creating hardy, functional items. I also love creating beautiful things. I like to think Woodsmoke Wildcraft is a way for me to do both.
