Welcome

Hello, and welcome to the Via Cornwall Newsletter.

               Sea Glass Jewellery

I’d like to start by introducing you to a new collection of really beautiful jewellery, handmade in Carbis Bay by Chloe Williams. Chloe creates her individual pieces of jewellery from glass washed up on the Cornish shoreline, worn down to smooth organic shapes. The sea glass is combined with semi-precious stones, glass, vintage and recycled beads. Because of the nature of the sea glass no two pieces washed up are the same, making each piece of jewellery unique. The jewellery can be seen in the recycled section of the website or by following this link, http://www.via-cornwall.co.uk/recycled_page3.htm

Knitted Freaks

Also I’d like to welcome to the site, the strange and wonderful world of the Knitted Freaks. Knitted Freaks are individual creations made with love from re-used wool and carefully selected buttons and adornments. Each one is a one-off, never to be repeated, bundle of joy! This is a collection of handmade ‘freaks’ that are the creation of Katie Lennon from Penzance. They are available as one off pieces with names such as Kenneth, Buster and Patty and also as lovely brooches.

Art Cards

A new addition to Via Cornwall is our collection of handmade Art Cards. It is a collection of some really lovely images, from gorgeous quirky illustrations by John Boddy to hand printed silk cards by textile artist Louise Kirby.  

Christmas Fair

After the great success of Augusts Fine Food, Art and Craft Fair there is going to be a Christmas Fair at Treriefe House near Penzance. This is being held from the 21^st to the 23^rd November and Via Cornwall will again be having a stall there.

Throughout the weekend a large marquee will hold 40 stalls of quality art and craft. The weekend will begin with a festive evening on the Friday. There will be demonstrations, lanterns and entertainment as well as an opening in the Art Gallery within the old servant’s quarter showing a mixed exhibition of local art.

Press

Mark Penrose’s Copper fish were featured in the August edition of the Cornwall Today magazine and we will have his fabulous copper weather vanes available on the website soon. Our lovely knitted water bottles were also seen in the Daily Express and have been selling out fast, they’re a really great stocking filler and Christmas is fast approaching!

Comments or Suggestions

If you have any comments or suggestions about anything on the website or would just like to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks
