Writing about handmade homeware, British craft, or considered gifts? Here's the short version of Timbermere Studio — and how to reach us for words, images, or a sample.
The short story
Timbermere Studio is a one-person workshop outside Selby, North Yorkshire, making wooden boards and homeware by hand from British-supplied hardwoods. Every piece is cut, shaped, and finished in food-safe oil and wax by the same maker, Ewald — some kept in small from-stock batches, others made to order. The brand runs on plain honesty: real lead times, a real stock count, no fake urgency, no dark patterns. The shop reads like a printed catalogue because that's how the work is meant to be met — slowly, one good object at a time.

Other makers worth knowing
Small workshops tend to know other small workshops. These are British makers and growers whose work we rate — independent, hands-on, and doing things the slow way, as we try to. If you're putting together a gift guide or writing about British craft, they're worth a look too. We link to each other; no money changes hands.
