A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A little house of found and handmade things
A colourful makers’ shop on Middle Street, filled with ceramics, sheepskins, flowers, home treasures and Annie Sloan paints.
Flotsam 50 is the sort of shop that rewards an unhurried look. Behind its blue frontage, ceramics, colourful sheepskins, flowers and found pieces share space with furniture and the materials for your own home projects. The mix reflects the people behind it: Jason brings a lifetime of woodworking, while Sally Jo’s background spans illustration, design and floristry. Together they have made an artisan showroom with plenty of texture and personality. A small soap, an unusual pot or a larger piece of furniture can all provide a reason to stop. Treat the photographs as a flavour of the selection rather than a stock list; the current display is part of the discovery.
