Our Showrooms

Our metalwork showroom has displays of ornate metalwork to give your home or garden that unique feel. From beds to our popular range of  boot racks and log rings. Traditional methods are used to create a range of beautiful, handcrafted bespoke items. Each piece is hand forged mixing traditional and contemporary designs, resulting in some truly original and innovative pieces. Standard paint finishes are available in three colours black, dark green, and cream. Another available option is galvanising prior to painting.

Our Woodwork showroom has a varied selection of items on display from spice racks to Welsh dressers.  Using traditional cabinet making techniques, choice kiln dried, recycled timbers, Camelia Botnar Oak, Maple, Beech and Pine furniture for the house and garden combines a durable and sturdy feel, thus giving your home that unique atmosphere that only handcrafted furniture can attain.

Our Pottery showroom has an abundance of plates, jugs, dinner services, egg cups all made by our own craftsmen.   Our personalised pottery makes a lovely Christening or Birthday gift  for a child.  Most items are thrown on the potter's wheel. In this way the potter creates a product which is both consistent and individual. Thrown pots possess a vitality, missing in most mass produced ceramics. Our oven-to-table stoneware ranges are fired in our kilns to 1280°C which creates a resilient, oven proof and dishwasher proof product.

Our specialist craftsmen pride themselves on being able to make almost anything, and we are always happy to quote on any bespoke orders. So if there is an individual item you would like made  for your home or garden to give it that unique feel, then please let us know.
