He has the skill and knowledge to allow the wood to retain it’s natural charm and beauty whilst performing a practical use. Wool from their rare, native flock of sheep is spun, knitted or woven, making entirely woollen dog leads which are strong pleasant to hold. Also, unusual yet practical items for the home from draught excluders to a foot pouffe, which are stuffed with wool and lavender, to ‘loopy animal’ door stops. The wildlife haven they have developed around them inspires Jacqueline in the pottery. You will find lizards appearing along with frogs and beetles on many a garden feature.
