January
Welcome to our website, and a Happy New Year to you!
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 just for you!

It’s the new year 2026 and I’m hoping that some of the gifts you may have purchased Christmas just gone will have been from independent makers?

It really does make a difference if you’ve shopped ‘small’ and have chosen a present that’s been hand crafted rather than mass produced!

At Mitchell-Finch we aim to give you something that’s different, either hand printed using letterpress to produce a card or poster or something stitched using free motion embroidery & hand stitching.

This coming year we will be striving to make some new work, that’s the intention anyway, whether it’ll come off is another matter as with all plans they are likely to change!

No events have been planned just yet, but you’ll find our work in CraftCo in Southwold and Converge in Framlingham.

We still can’t ship to Europe but I’m hoping that it may change in the future? Thank you Brexit! This really has had an impact on our takings and saddens us as we did have some customers in Europe and the USA!

Below sets out why, at present, we can’t send to the EU!

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. We are also unable to ship to the USA but are hoping this may change?

If you want to know where CraftCo 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 shop 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.

Thanks for dropping by and we look forward to meeting up with you at an upcoming event or at Craftco where we are in the shop about 4 days a month!
