Kate -A perfect day and weekend

“I’ve just come back from a one day course in pebble mosaic at Olicana in Ilkley. I was a complete novice. What a lovely day, David is so informative and he and his wife helped us to produce our own mosaic to take home. Lovely relaxed atmosphere in their own workshop.

A perfect day and weekend. Thank you David and Caroline”

Grans Knits n Bits

I am Elaine, the nutty knitter, and I am Grans knits n bits. Knitting and sewing have been part of my life since I can remember, being taught by my Nan and Mum when I was little. Grans was born when I was asked if I could create a throw incorporating a pattern they had seen on a cardigan. Deciding to accept the challenge I haven’t looked back, saying yes to pushing myself to attempt creations I never would have considered before. This has meant that I have been lucky enough to have knitted for TV on more that one occasion.

My order book is still open for smaller custom orders. Please message for other items before ordering to confirm delivery in time for Christmas.

The result is one of a kind beautiful spiritual healing crystal jewellery that feels amazing to wear on every level.

I like to keep my handcrafted wearable metaphysical art designs simple, just like nature, allowing the natural beauty, imperfections and characteristics of the healing stones, crystals and freshwater pearls to shine through.

Fire & Fairylights

Fire and Fairylights was developed from my sons love of all things running related and my love of Pyrography (which I wish I’d discovered years ago). And fairylights just make everything better. The original plan was to make medal hangers for runners, and things just expanded from there. There are a lot more things to come, and a lot more personalised items to be designed and created.

We are always trying to find a more ethical way to work. Our wood is salvaged and recycled.

Bic Beaumont Art

I create work across two different mediums; painting and lino print with animals, folk tales and nature as sources of inspiration in the main. I have two distinct areas of work within painting, one being abstract and experimentation and the other whimsical. My lino work follows a similar ethos using animals and folklore, but the work tends to be more peaceful and relaxing, welcoming the viewer in, just to take a moment out from their everyday lives – I certainly find it very therapeutic when I’m creating them.
