Our journey began 4 years ago and we are going from strength to strength. What began with 9 has now grown to an amazing group of 19 talented and prolific Makers. Each with an interesting and unique story to tell. We have a stunning range of art, candles, ceramics, environmental art, enamel, felted sculpture, glass, herbal soaps & balms, jewellery, leatherwork, metalwork, painting, photography, pottery, printmaking, sculpture, seaglass, stained glass, textiles, woodturning.”
