ABSOLUTELY MARBLE…OUS-My name is Catherine and I took up Paper Marbling almost 10 years ago. I find the process endlessly fascinating! I drop colours on a size of water which is thickened with moss extract, manipulate them with a stylus and/or combs to create a unique riot of colour and pattern which is then transferred to paper. The question arose, what to do with my ever growing stack of papers? So I turned my hand to making things I could decorate with my marbled paper. I have been creating boxes, pen pots, frames…
Amos Country Kitchen-I am Richenda and although I was born and brought up in Yorkshire, I have been living in Kent for over 30 years. I make a wide range of jams, pickles and preserves, where possible, using produce from my garden. I also source produce as much as possible, locally in Kent. I enjoy experimenting with different flavour combinations and varieties not available in regular food shops.
Brenna’s Crafts-I have always had an interest in crafting from a very young age and on a recent visit to Deal I was inspired to create some pebble pictures. I collected drift wood and various pebbles from the beach and got creative. I dabble with card making using various mediums such as paper craft and cross stitch. Making things gives me a sense of purpose and hopefully brings pleasure to others. As a child, an elderly lady taught me how to crochet blankets and now I too can share this gift…

Handmade with Care-Hello, my name is Katie and what started out as a nice little hobby has almost taken over my life! Put simply; I love to crochet. It is relaxing yet stimulating and I never cease to be amazed that a single hook and some yarn can produce such beautiful work. I make a wide variety of items from baby shoes to house decorations to clothes and novelties. I am open to taking on commissions.
Head West-My name is Michele Skelt and I moved to Deal from Essex 18 months ago Since then I have found both the time and the inspiration to indulge my lifelong love of crafting from my tiny garden studio. I have created a brand called Head West featuring glass mosaic designs and cotton crochet bags, as well as a few other favourite crafts...

K R Gifts – Steve-I am always on the lookout for un-usual Gifts that you typically wouldn’t find on the High Street.I also feel that customers want to see, touch and feel the product because it all part of the shopping experience.For me taking up the opportunity to display my Gifts at ‘The Place To’ was an easy decision, I think that the environment that mixes Artists, Craft, Home and small businesses together makes for a diverse and great environment.So, after 24 years of experiencing the local views and sampling the local Beer !!…

They use a large selection of electric and manual tools, from working with a traditionally foot driven pole lathe to a classic electric lathe. They make all types of wooden items from children’s toys to magic wands as well as the more traditional bowls and pots. Their workshop is set in the grounds of a delightful old house in Dorset. The area provides different types of wood which allows a large variety of…
Ornativa-My name is Elaine and I have been knitting and sewing from an early age. I have knitted everything from jumpers for my children to Dr Who scarves and Kaffe Fassett diamond pattern jackets. More recently I have contributed to a knitted village that was exhibited at the national Knit and Stitch Show, and designed a tea cosy that was chosen for inclusion in a book of new designs. I am currently knitting scarves by combining yarns of various textures together, and I am knitting rugs that use loom end…

The Shape of Glass-The technique of cutting glass into different shapes, foiling and soldering them together (known as Tiffany) was a craft that really interested me. 3 years on and I have fallen in love with it. The ability to create an image from glass with little detail and still portray the meaning fascinates me. My work varies, from standard pieces to more elaborate work, many of my own design. From Ballerinas, to Hot Air Balloons, Lanterns to Ladies with Umbrellas, the possibilities are endless and I’m always looking for the next image to…
Usable Misfits-Over the years I’ve trekked across a plethora of American and European beaches, fields, as well as, visited numerous charity, bric-a-brac & curio shops, flea markets and boot sales. Always on the hunt for misfit treasures to repurpose into something new. The UK offers a cornucopia of history and exploration, one where you can find sea glass, broken shards of pottery and Victorian delftware, discarded and rediscovered. On any given weekend, I can traipse along the shores to my hearts’ content, collecting glorious misfit pieces of discarded refuse. As an…
Walmer Candles and Wax Melts-My name is Leigh- Anne and I have lived in Deal for over 20 years (work brought me here) My husband is from Deal and it’s where we’ve raised our son. I started making candles last year when I could find any candles with a good hot throw, interesting scents and that didn’t cost a fortune! I use a coconut/ rapeseed wax blend that is sustainably sourced and quality scents that are vegan friendly. The wax melts use the same wax type and scents and each cube should last 5-6 hours. You can…
