Debby Kirby has her workshop on the balcony. She weaves in silk, a range of colourful items, including scarves, ties, bow-ties, cushions and framed pieces (see examples)

Every item is designed, dyed and hand-woven in pure silk and the same design is never repeated so each item is an original.

Commissions are welcome. Visit Debby's website at www.debbykirby.co.uk

Kathryn Arbon has been designing and making jewellery for over fifteen years. She has developed several ranges of jewellery, many of which are inspired by nature and feature unique pieces in silver and 18k gold. She also regularly designs privately commissioned pieces, particularly wedding and engagement rings.

Kathryn's latest handmade collection is created entirely out of aluminium, specially treated to allow an array of patterns to be sealed into the metal. It is this technique that she has used to create an exclusive range for the Russell Cotes Museum.

Customers can view Kathryn's jewellery at Walford Mill Crafts, Wimborne, where she has had an open studio for the last three years. Pieces from the aluminium collection are also available to buy at Bournemouth and Harris Interiors, Parkstone.

Kate is happy to take on commission work, design one off pieces and she also does repairs.(see examples)
