Claracreate, by Alison Capeling is an artisan business making beautiful minimal waste products from her Cornish home studio. Each handmade item is traditionally made with thoughtful yet simple design and many are one-off pieces for you and your home.

Cosy season is here! As we drift into autumn we think of softer homely textiles, plump relaxing cushions, glowing candles, throws to snuggle under and table linens for home cooked family fare. Welcoming the change of season with earthy natural tones and the simple pleasures of our cosy home.

It’s a family affair* Life at claracreate revolves around family. With four boisterous grandchildren aged between 3 and 9 years it can get quite hectic but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The latest project with them is panning for broken pottery in the very shallow part of a local river. This involves non leaky wellies and a glass dish (a shallow Pyrex dish is ideal) which magnifies under the water to reveal all sorts of long forgotten treasures, well broken bits and bobs really but unfortunately no gold.
