Flotsam Prints

Printmaker Megan has a studio in Plymouth and specialises in linocut with a distinctive style that combines clean lines and silhouettes with colours taken straight from the natural world. She is particularly inspired by her frequent outdoor swimming adventures and credits the cold water with re-igniting her creative flame after a seven-year career break.

MeeMu

MeeMu Jewellery is the creative work of Plymouth-based jeweller Ana Simões. Each piece Simões makes is hand drawn in wax and cast in small batches using recycled sterling silver or gold vermeil. The shapes are simple and familiar, but no two are ever quite the same. Whether a pendant, ring or earring, every piece feels personal and clearly handmade.

Sugarbush handmakes natural cosmetics using ingredients that are good for your skin and the planet. Each product is handmade in small batches with environmentally friendly packaging and the product range includes bath bombs, lotion bars, lip balms, shampoo bars, conditioner bars and face masks.

Trelowen Pottery

This Cornish potter is based in Launceston and makes wheel thrown and hand finished functional and decorative wear from stoneware clay. Their ranges are inspired by their surroundings and include ‘Goon’ (meaning ‘moor’ in Cornish), ‘Men’ (‘stone’) and ‘Morewon’ (‘sea-foam’). The business name ‘Trelowen’ means ‘happy home/ place’ as they hope their pieces will bring happiness into people’s homes.

Tumbled Treasure

Tumbled Treasure jewellery is handmade and designed using Seaglass collected on the beach. Recycled sterling silver and gold are cut and shaped around the Seaglass to maintain beautiful organic shapes, naturally tumbled by the sea and the sand. Commission pieces using Seaglass found by customers are also welcomed, and can provide a cherished memory of a favourite beach.
