I started Crowan Crafts in 2003 because I felt that there was a lack of quality,
originality & beauty in a great deal of the craftwork produced today.
I wanted to gather together a group of artisans whose work was truly inspiring.
Sometimes, it seems as if we surround ourselves with the insanely functional
& deny the importance of beauty in our everyday lives.
Indeed, imagination, creativity & above all beauty
are often scorned in our throwaway society.
I live near the hamlet of Crowan where Harry & May Davis ran
from 1946 - 1962.
Pottery from Crowan was extremely beautiful & supremely functional.
It is these aspects of quality, beauty & usefulness
that I wanted to emulate with

P.S You can now find us at our own shop in St Ives. We will still have two exhibitions each year in Crowan where we always have a tearoom – tea & cake being a vital part of the day.
