The sea glass jewellery phenomenon is going nowhere, as more and more people find out about sea glass - and want to wear it! ✨✨

Remember that you discovered it with us first please 😉...

Our resident sea glass jeweller is the fabulous Laura of Porth Jewellery, who also holds workshops in Inspire Makers, so you can make your very own sea glass heirlooms.

Our latest blog explains how to find sea glass, and why it’s so popular. Find your new favourite jewellery! 💍

Swipe to read our thoughts on whether buying British-made items is important!?

Today is Buy British Day, and we’re sending a huge thank you to those of you (you know who you are) that choose to support local businesses, and local creatives. 🎉

Have you got some reasons we haven’t thought of, of why buying British (or buying local) is a win-win?

Maxine Whitbread-Abrutat is a Cornish artist living on the wild, North Atlantic blue coastline in Rose, Perranporth who has been inspired from a young age by the beauty and draw of the Cornish landscape. 🌊

Maxine’s practice has a focus on the emotive questioning of landscapes. She reflects on the power, structure, and beauty of the Cornish coast, looking at the nature of its sweeping energy and scarred appearances. She experiences the landscape through the effects of place, time, movement, seas, colours, space, and the relationship it has with people.

We are so pleased to have this brilliant exhibition by Maxine on display, pop in to see it when you’re in Falmouth! 🎨

I have been waiting to light the candles in my new home for months, and I think I finally have an excuse now the seasons are changing!

One perk of owning an artisan shop, is that even lighting candles can be a lovely experience!

This bright blue candleholder has been made just down the road in Penryn, by lovely Lisa.

Just £22, and available online and in the Falmouth shop. They are also a popular choice for gifts 🎁

Natalie’s work is incredibly intricate and special, we feel very lucky to be working with her and offering her absolutely beautiful fine art prints. 🖌

Just look at the detail, and see how her perfectly portrayed creatures are so full of character.🦉

After the summer we’ve had, rain is much more welcome than usual! 🌧🌧

But if you’re not one for celebrating outside in the rain, we’ve got lots of tips for enjoying Falmouth in the wet weather.

Great places to visit, eat, and entertain - you’ll want to note these down for your next rainy day in Falmouth! 🎉

Head to the website to read the latest blog!

We have had a brilliant start to Joe Morris’ new exhibition in the gallery space - have you popped in to see it yet?! 🎨

Joe’s artwork is both ancient and contemporary, drawing upon pre-history and universal geometry to create art which occupies a realm somewhere between painting and sculpture.

Tadelakt lime plaster has been used in Morocco for centuries as a decorative wall covering. Joe has developed his own unique techniques to create artworks using this ancient material, subtly blending pigments and carving into the surface to create the image.

Pop in and say hello, and take a look 👋

Oh hello? It’s me? 👀

My lovely social media lady seems determined to put me front and centre of this page!

I’m much more comfortable celebrating the other artisans whose work we stock in Inspire Makers, but whenever I can find spare time, I’m creating fused glass homewares in my studio. Which are sold under the name Article Glass on the website. ⚡

My favourite pieces to make are these little stem vases. 🌷

Let me know what you think of my work ☺️

It’s been a big year already for our artisan shop in Cornwall, and we’re searching for new artists and makers to welcome - could it be you? We are especially keen to introduce some new brilliant printmakers, raku and soda fired pottery, and unusual jewellery! 🎨

Submitting your work to independent shops and galleries can feel like a real chore (especially when you’d rather be creating) so we’re going to make it as simple as possible.

If you are based in Cornwall, and feel a kinship with our Inspire Makers ethos of supporting local creatives and offering unique wares, we’d love to hear from you.

Simply leave a comment on this post, with a picture of your work and a short sentence about you.

We are looking for something we don't currently have so please check the selection on the website before applying!

If you’d prefer to do it the old-fashioned way, that’s absolutely fine too. Just email Vicki at [email protected] with photos of your work, and some info about you.

Sadly, we can't reply to everyone but we’ll contact you if we think you could be a good fit. 💌
