Welcome to Village Crafts, this picture was taken earlier this week, looking up from our adjoining Cornish Wools knitting wool shop. Here are some really lovely pieces of wooden sculpture from Samvado of the Lizard and a selection of pottery produced by Holly Jackson of Penzance.
And here is just a small selection of locally hand made jewellery, the necklace and earings are made in Perranuthnoe by Helen Crebo. We have a huge selection of jewellery with lots on display for you to see and try on and perhaps fall in love with.
There are lots and lots of local artist greetings cards for you to choose from and a huge variety of local crafts and gifts ideal for that special birthday or anniversary treat.
Samvado creates some extremely beautiful wood sculptures. He told me, when I visited him recently, that his inspiration comes from the natural form, shape and feel of the piece he intends to work on. I just love this 'One Heart' created from a single piece of Yew wood. Ideal for a wedding or engagement gift!
Different, eclectic, unusual and often the word 'WOW!' are used to describe the Cornish Wools knitting shop. It has an 'arty crafty' look and feel with just the types of yarn that can inspire the textile artist. Here we have some of our Lang knitting wools with baskets and trugs of other exciting yarns such as our Cornish Wools 'Cornish' 4ply sock yarn collection
Here the picture shows some of the items in our Spinning, weaving and felting corner. Hand crafted drop spindles and knitting dollies made in Cornwall by Terry Pearson. Ashford wool carders, pencil rovings and tops, felting needles, gorgeous silk fibres and lots to inspire the textile crafter.
We also stock recycled silk sari ribbon, sari silk, hemp and banana fibre knitting yarns, Ashford traditional spinning wheels, the Ashford Knitters Loom and ideal for beginners the smaller and more straight forward frame looms. So lots to see there too.
Come and visit Perranuthnoe, see our Village Crafts and Cornish Wools shop, have lunch or coffee and a slice of cake in the Peppercorn Cafe or why not bring your dog and boots and take a bracing walk or a leisurely stroll along the cliff path, indulge yourself and just ENJOY!!
