July
We are in a warm spell at the moment with less humid air than we had which is welcome. With June now gone we approach the Summer holidays and the influx of visitors to the area!

We’ve had a quiet market year as we are still finding our feet with Craftco but stock still has to be made for Holly & Co, Converge in Framlingham and of course for Craftco and our biggest event of the year which is FolkEast! This year we have a new venue on the Sotterley Estate, it’s hopefully going to prove to be as good if not better than Glemham Hall!?

If, by any chance, you’re staying in Southwold there are some great places to visit, Adnam’s do a popular brewery tour, there’s the little Southwold Museum for a rainy day, our wonderful pier and some lovely places to walk and have refreshments! Along with many other great coastal towns to explore!

Hello if you're having a browse on our website for the first time, I hope you find something that you like? If there’s something sold that you’re interested in then get in touch as I can always make another, it’ll never be exactly the same but it’ll be a unique piece for you!

An important piece of news is with regret we will not be able to ship to Europe or Northern Ireland.

Coming into force on 13 December 2024 the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) means to continue to sell to the EU & N Ireland, we would have to pay over £100 per product for new safety testing regulations and employ an EU agent, which costs a great deal, as a named point of contact to oversee this. As a small partnership we cannot afford this. If we didn’t comply with these new rules it could mean 12 months in prison and/or a fine up to £20,000. This is a risk that we cannot afford!

Apologies for the above news, it’s not what we want but our hands are tied.

Craftco has been pretty steady with people old and new visiting the shop! You’ll always find something quirky & interesting, all made by East Anglian makers. Old customers that haven’t visited since the changes are a little surprised by the new set up but are happy that we are still on the high street!

Our gallery exhibitions have now begun and we have a two weekly change over of work so there’s always something exciting to see!

If you want to know where the shop is or you haven’t visited Southwold before then find us at 40A High Street, Southwold, Suffolk. We are up near Adnam’s Cellar & Kitchen and diagonally opposite FatFace.
We share the shop space with Tourist Information, so if you need to find out more about what’s happening in the area, please pop in?

Look out for more information on where we'll be and what we're up to on Instagram.
