Frequently Answered Questions

Our craft blanks and kits are all made from FSC certified wood, mostly 3mm MDF (medium density fibreboard), with some 3mm plywood. Our other items, painted and other, are similarly created from FSC certified woods, including MDF, beech ply, oak and pine. There may be occasions where we use other woods, but all will have been sourced responsibly. In the case of our wooden earrings, other jewellery and smaller items made from oak, pine, sapele mahogany and other (more exciting) wooden pieces, the wood used will be either recycled from larger items such as furniture, or offcuts from the production of products created by artisans we work closely with.

The paints we use are all non toxic (although we still don't advise actually eating any of them, they aren't nutritious or delicious and you'd not be able to enjoy them as decorative items if you consume them), and the varnish and lacquer we use is also non toxic once dried. Embellishments are sourced from reputable stockists and locally sourced where possible.

All of our clothing blanks (except upcycled and repurposed items) are sourced from a local Devon distributor, and details are available on the apparel page.

Our jewellery findings are all hypo allergenic. We use surgical steel and sterling silver (see item description for details) and 24 carat gold is available on request for an extra charge.
