The arts and crafts Shop

As the suburban sprawl extends to the village, old crafts that rely on patient hand work give way to modern industries and employment in the "factory". In an effort to revive some of the village crafts, and provide a sales point, the Oriental Collection draws together the work of artists and crafts people from several countries in this region. Many of the products are made using skills and designs handed down from generation to generation – beautiful testaments to the region’s rich culture and history.

From naturally dyed, hand woven silks, to colourful, intricate embroideries, artifacts of wood and reed and handcrafted silver – the collection is designed to enable you to take a little treasure back with you –at a fair price.
