A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A little shop for a long, slow browse.
For the person who always finds room for another handmade mug, Craftmongers is a promising stop. Its East Street shop brings together pottery, prints, textiles and beautifully useful objects, with books and art materials threaded through the shelves. There is plenty to look at, whether you are choosing a present or simply enjoying the pleasure of a proper browse.
The collection puts the people who make things at its centre. South West craftspeople sit alongside carefully chosen work from further afield, with heritage skills and the natural world running through the selection. Look for tactile ceramics, carved wooden utensils and nature writing: small things that can make an everyday ritual feel a little more considered.
