Meet the maker Diane Walkey
Hello, welcome to my shop, Studioarts, and my new label, TŶ TWT.
( pronounced "Tee Toot"), ( tidy little house, in Welsh)
Croeso i TŶ TWT (Welcome to TŶ TWT).
I live and work in my 200 year old cottage, TŶ TWT, on the West Wales coast, in the Cardigan Bay area.
I have been a painter for many years, and take inspiration from the amazing country that I live in.
I am a painter of abstract and semi abstract pieces, mainly oil on canvas. You can view some of my paintings in my on-line galleries.

I love making things, and I particularly like sewing.
I love the whole ethos of upcycling and re-using, creating new and unique items from a diverse range of materials. Sources include vintage, scrap stores, remnants and lucky finds! I am really particular about the fabrics that I use and believe that quality fabrics deserve a second life!
I make according to what I find....Currently I am producing funky cushions from upcycled men's shirts married with a selection of gorgeous fabrics and trimmed with vintage buttons.
With shopping in mind, I make lovely fabric bags, simple totes and larger lined pieces, that are eco friendly and look great too!
I love accessories, and make one-off scarves, fabric brooches and corsages that you can use to enhance your wardrobe. The scarves are long and versatile, the brooches can be pinned to an outfit or to a bag.
Whether you are shopping for yourself or looking for a gift, I hope that you enjoy my little shop.
"Diolch yn fawr", and thankyou for looking x
