Meet the kracken! Watch out for these gliding into our online shop soon.

Many of our pieces are sculptures of sea creatures to highlight our responsibility to cleaning up the oceans. We print with corn starch PLA which ultimately breaks down into biomass instead of harmful microplastics.

Come and check out our 3d wall art @southbristolartstrail @willwayyard venue 45.

Everything is made from durable, biodegradable PLA (corn starch) so when you're finished with it, it will break down leaving no harmful microplastics in the environment.

The octopus and highland cows have been firm favourites at our markets and arts trails in the past. We also have plenty of other things, including lamps, jewelery and even fun, brightly coloured plant pots and watering cans for your home!

And we're exhibiting alongside 16 other amazing makers. We're here from 11am until 5pm today Sun 20th Sept. taken in Willway Yard by @thelaboratoryofthings

We had a great day today @willwayyard for @southbristolartstrail and we're looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow!

So many great makers all under one roof. The weather is looking nice and dry tomorrow so come out and explore the trail.

There'll also be a free painting class with our lovely neighbour @helenatraill starting at 11am. It's first come, first served so you'd better get there sharp if you want to take part! More info in her stories. taken in Willway Yard by @thelaboratoryofthings

We know it's not quite autumn but the nights are drawing in and things are feeling fresher. Time to get out the cozy blankets and get some warm mood lighting going to set you up for the season ahead!

Our gorgeous hare lamps come in various colours. There is a lovely fox design too. They are all in our shop on our website for you to browse. Link in our bio.

And no need to worry about harmful plastics with these. They are made using durable, long lasting, but ultimately biodegradable PLA (cornstarch). So at the end of its life, the main body will break down without leaving microplastics in our environment. Win win!

If you want to check these out in real life and meet the maker, we'll be @willwayyard Container Carnival this Saturday.
And @willwayyard as part of @southbristolartstrail on 19+20th September along with 15 other amazing artists and makers! taken in Bristol, United Kingdom by @thelaboratoryofthings

Do you have a vision you'd like to turn into a reality? A set for a festival perhaps, promotional items for your small business or even an architectural model.

Our in house designer would be happy to discuss your options. We are able to create large scale projects, aswell as tiny.

We primarily like to work with sustainable, biodegradable materials like PLA, which is made out of corn starch, or even algae or wood fillament. But we're also able to use materials like recycled ABS, ASA, PA6, PA12 and PETG, carbon fibre and glass fibre composites aswell as resin when the project requires it. We'll use what's right for your project.
