The selection is broad enough for both experienced makers and people browsing for a small project. You’ll find jewellery supplies, including metal wire, pearls, stone-setting materials and tools; ceramic materials, such as clay, equipment, kilns and enamels; plus textile, paper, stationery and tea-making supplies. Specific stock includes 925 sterling silver, 999 fine silver and 14/20 yellow gold-filled round wire. There are also glass supplies for lampworking and fusing, including glass beads, confetti and buttons, along with brands such as Thompson Enamel, Eurotool, Grobet, Fretz, 3M and Jax. The stationery section includes Japanese paper, washi tape, pens, magnets and stickers, with a noticeable focus on Snoopy and Sanrio items.
The tea side gives the shop its more relaxed, social feel. It serves rare loose-leaf teas sourced by the owners during annual trips to tea villages in China, available hot or iced, with cow’s milk, almond milk or soy milk. Customer reviews often mention the friendly staff, fresh-brewed iced tea and the cute, cosy atmosphere. Google Maps lists a 4.8/5 rating from 128 reviews, although opening hours and current workshop availability should be checked before heading over. Recent workshop listings have included Beginner Granny Square Crochet, Home Made Decal On Cup, The Secret of Weld A Natural Dye and free felted-coaster sessions.
