About Briar and Hawthorn

Briar and Hawthorn

Handmade goods, inspired by nature.

Welcome to my Folksy shop, I'm Donna Marea, the designer and maker behind Briar & Hawthorn.

In the years since graduating from Art School, where I studied Silversmithing and Jewellery, I have taken courses and attended workshops in everything from screen-printing to ceramics, sewing to lino-cutting, spoon-carving to weaving - I haven't yet met a craft I didn't like! One thing that has developed over the years is a love of and fascination with plants - I have also taken courses in herbalism and horticulture and try to keep on top of a somewhat overgrown allotment! I set up Briar & Hawthorn as a way of combining my love of making using a variety of materials with my love of all things botanical.

Every item is handmade, by me, with love, in my little workshop in Stirling in the heart of Scotland where I live with my husband and three children.
