A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Beautiful things, straight from the makers
A cooperative gallery of ceramics, jewellery, textiles and other original craft on Bude Street.
This is a lovely stop for something with a maker behind it. The Appledore Crafts Company is run by a cooperative of local designer-makers, showing their own work alongside selected associates. Look for ceramics, jewellery, glass, textiles, prints and willow pieces rather than a single house style. The mix makes it an enjoyable browse for a small gift or a piece to keep.
The lovely little details
- A maker-run cooperative founded in 1991.
- 5 Bude Street.
