Thorpe Thewles, Co. Durham

During the pandemic, like many, I took to crafts. I keep a selection of rare and native sheep and therefore have an abundance of wool; so, I began processing it myself and creating framed felted pictures.

With my love for the country lifestyle, I realised there was a gap in the market for quirky and personalised farm signs. I now offer a range of signs, for every lifestyle. My signs can be personalised to suit your requirements, alternatively I have a selection of signs which I have designed.

Please contact me with any questions or to discuss a custom sign. All of my signs are carved on pine or oak and stained so they are suitable for the outdoor lifestyle.

We are handmade rattan basketry and Woodenwares Company established as a way to share our passion and personal experience of using traditional handcrafted Burmese home accessories with a broader audience.

It is also an appreciation of slow-making handmade products and how their functionality, simplicity, durability, and eco-friendly factors are a perfect example of capturing the minds of the audience, as well as aiming to reduce the negative impact on the environment in our everyday life.

By doing so, we are in a way supporting the skilled weavers whose talents have been passed down from generation to generation, helping to keep their work sustainable and foster the prosperity of the local handcrafted industry in Burma.

We have 70 varieties of rattan baskets in our wide collection, ranging from small vanity baskets to large storage baskets offered in rustic white, natural colour and dark brown. Our customers can choose from this large selection to match their home décor style and colour. We also have a unique range of wooden salad bowls for those who love to have woodenware as a conversation piece in the centre of their table.

Following our passion, all products are made from a sustainable material and are 100% handcrafted in Burma by local artisan weavers and woodturners.
