        Aled Jenkins

        Slate

        As well as his range of jewellery, Aled also makes a variety of slate vases and clocks from recycled Welsh roofing slates and window cill offcuts.

         

        "I work with reclaimed Welsh roofing slate contrasting the natural roughness of the slate with a highly polished smooth and tactile surface. The slate is cut roughly to size and shape then hand carved and polished to create pieces to wear, also vessels and clocks to enhance the home."

        Angled Walled Garden

        Dried Flower Bouquets

        All our flowers are grown, dried and arranged using traditional, organic & ethical methods in our beautiful coastal walled garden here in South Wales, Pembrokeshire.

        Art Love

        Candles

        Handmade scented candles.

        Botanical Booksmith

        Delightful handmade journals from Jules.

        "I have a lifelong love of books and I am inspired by the worn textile, aged fabrics and the stories that lay within them. I choose to use many of these reclaimed materials for my books. I squirrel away ednless supplies of found objects, old fabrics, odd buttons and papers ready to use in future book projects.

        Each book takes up to a week or more to create and is lovingly hand bound using traditional bookbinding techniques. I frequently leave the bindings exposed as I feel they are too beautiful to be hidden."

        GrayJean

        Woodturning

        Handcrafted pens in a variety of local hard woods, using wood turning technique.

        Penlanlas Soaps

        Soapmaking

        Penlas soaps are made the old way, entirely by hand using only natural ingredients. Each soap is infused with a blend of oils and dried ingredients giving them a uniquely refreshing smell and feel.

        West Wales Willow

        Weaving

        Justine & Alan Burgess run a small company in a local Welsh valley that specialises in growing the willows that Justine uses to make a wide range of baskets and other artifacts. Traditional and contemporary baskets are woven with love in Wales.
