 DavniglassDavniglass is a small family owned and staffed glass studio. We use the same traditional techniques developed by 'Louis Comfort Tiffany' who, at the turn of the century, produced his famous lighting and windows. We manafacture almost anything from a simple wall light to a large pendant light, and the design of our mirrors can be created to compliment lighting or features. |

 Felted FlowersAt Felted Flowers we use Merino wool tops to create pieces of felt using a wet felt process. I use the felt to create rose/flower corsages and felted pictures and bowls. My husband makes fantastic bird boxes, crafted from cedar and all have natural slate roofs. Boxes are available in a variety of sizes and are painted or coated with a linseed preservative. All our products are lovingly handmade and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do creating them. Sandra and Robert Sturman Contact email: robertsturman136@btinternet.com

Dorus MhorInspired by a lifelong fascination with ornate Tweed and a Fine Art degree in Sculpture, in 2010 Elizabeth Bloom created Dorus Mhor. Dorus Mhor celebrates the characteristic beauty of fabric through it's application to accessories. In our jewellery range every fabric remnant becomes an exquisite tactile gem on the final product, and our ties aim to punctuate men’s fashion with the unique.

 Gavin's CraftsI am Gavin Kruyer. I produce hand painted glass, a range of scented candles, wax tarts and simmering granules and some “New Age” items. I also specialise in jewellery made from freshwater pearls and semi precious stones All my items are hand made to the highest standard. |
 Oakleaf JewelleryAs anyone can tell from looking at my jewellery, I am a gardener. From my earliest age, I have been spellbound by the diversity and beauty of leaves and flowers. When I started making jewellery, even projects which were supposed to be abstract, eventually ended up as natural forms. I have now surrendered to the fact that nothing can surpass the beauty of a garden and I hope in some small way I have been able to pay homage to nature in my jewellery.
