Self Taught Woodworker

Jimagination Creations

Hi I’m Jim,

I’ve lived an eventful life before I settled with my passion for woodwork. I trained to be a teacher; did Humanitarian Aid work in Bosnia; instructed adventure sports in American summer camps; was a gym instructor; so, becoming a woodworker just happened along the way!

I enjoy making the quirky, the unusual and the different. Often inspired by nature, and my home county of Cornwall, and I really enjoy it.

Ceramic Celebrity

Alchemy Tiles

Mel Chambers is a local Cornish maker with a business foundation of ethical and sustainable practice.

The art of hand carving and inlaying within her creations brings ancient 13th Century techniques into a modern-day era. Based in Mawnan Smith with her own creative studio, she is inspired by the magic of nature and her home.

Much of her work also supports many local Cornish conservation projects using her business and creativity as a force for good.

Master Distiller

Moorland Distillery

Brian Farmer is filled with a passion for wines and beers that has taken him from enthusiast to creator.

It was in the fruitless search for affordable and traditionally made Oak aged, Cornish Apple Brandy that the idea to turn passion into a business was born. What started with a single 150 litre copper pot has become a much loved bespoke distillery.

Crayon Entrepreneur

Kernow Crayons

Hi I’m Kelly,

During the first lockdown I decided I wanted to make something fun for children, and found myself designing and making unique fun shaped children’s crayons.

Drawing time should be fun and help early age learning and development, and that is why I have made so many different designs to suit children’s favourite characters and creatures.

Join me on this crayon journey.
