If you are new here let me Introduce us. We are based in the Devon town of Ashburton on the flanks of Dartmoor and within distant sight of the sea.

We support nearly fifty local and international makers and artists.

My name is Toby Strong, I’ve spent the last 25 years travelling the world as a wildlife and documentary cameraman.

As I travelled I met many extraordinary makers and Crafts people. From potters in Niger to basket weavers in Papua New Guinea to a scientist in Antarctica who made exquisite cloth whales and penguins from clothing scraps.

The idea of a shop to gather all this magic was always bubbling away.

And the opportunity finally presented itself in Devon.
It is the perfect place. surrounded by such talent and skill and integrity…

Curating beautiful craft from the South West and personally sourced International treasures. Magical items for everyday life.
