Meet the maker Karen Kench

I have needed to be creative and make things for as long as I can remember. I have a Fine Art degree, a love of gardening and walking, a keen interest in design and am a compulsive collector. I've moved from a tiny house in Sheffield to a much bigger one with my other half and I still don't seem to have enough room for everything! I collect all manner of things and love scouring charity shops and car boot sales for interesting and beautiful items - useful or not! Expect an eclectic mix as time goes by and I get around to making, finishing or simply photographing everything.

Described by customers as "even more beautiful in real life", which can't be bad!

CUSTOM ORDERS:
I welcome your ideas for custom items and can adapt existing pieces from the range or create something unique for you. Please send me a message to start the ball rolling!

POST & PACKING:
Items will be securely packaged, using recycled products whenever possible, and posted throughout the UK by Royal Mail 2nd Class within 3 working days of receiving cleared payment, with the exception of lampshades that can take up to two weeks.

RETURNS:
Great care is taken to ensure all items are finished to a high standard. In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with your item, I will offer a full refund if returned within 7 days of receipt unused, in saleable condition, and in the original packaging. I'd be grateful if you could also state the reason for return to help me improve the products if necessary.
