Discover Our New Maker Collection, Inspired By Nature

We moved our Shop and Studio to Maker Heights in August last year.  It's changed our business for the better.  I had no idea that small changes to our environment would mean such a significant benefit to our business.

Working Together

The opportunity to work together in a single space has been critical to sharing our ideas, enthusiasm and ways of working.  You can learn so much from being in the same room as someone else and watching them work.  Listening and learning from each other allows us to reflect on how we all work together.

Part of A Community

As a small business owner it can sometimes feel like you're on your own.  It's been wonderful to become part of the wider business community here at Maker Heights.  We share many common values and there is a sense of working collaboratively together for the benefit of everyone, including this very special place.

Inspiration For Our New Collection

The single most important thing about our move is the sense of place, the space and the view, which is breathtaking.  It has inspired us all in different ways.  Most importantly, being at the top of a hill, with beautiful countryside all around us has led us to our new Collection, the Maker Collection.

Gorse At Maker Heights, Cornwall

The colours of this collection reflect our wonderful natural surroundings. Walks across the Rame Peninsula are filled with the mustard yellow of gorse, the rich, rusty-red soil, lush green fields and big open skies. This collection reflects the gentle, organic pallet of an ancient, working landscape. It includes four beautiful, useful products perfect for every day use and we hope you love them as much as we do.
