Handmade Homewares Made in Worthing

Naturally dyed textiles, lighting and hand-turned wooden objects, made by Wendy March and Jubal Prevatte.

We work in small batches using vintage textiles, natural dyes and local or reclaimed wood. Our work is available online, at selected exhibitions and events, and during occasional openings at our East Worthing space.

What we make

Most of what you see here is made by us.

Jubal is a carpenter and wood turner, working with local and reclaimed timber in East Worthing to make bowls, candlesticks and small furniture. Each piece is shaped by the grain, colour and history of the wood it came from.

Wendy works with vintage linens and natural dyes to create cushions and lampshades with depth and softness. Using plants, kitchen waste and garden-grown materials, existing cloth is given a new life and a new story.

Alongside our own work, we stock a small number of independent makers whose values match ours — thoughtful design, honest materials and things made to last.

Why it’s different

We don’t follow trends or work to a seasonal cycle.
We make in small runs, use what already exists, and let the materials lead.

That means:

  • wood from local and reclaimed sources
  • textiles made from vintage and surplus fabric
  • natural dyes instead of synthetic ones
  • pieces that are all slightly different

It also means everything here has a sense of where it came from.

How we dye textiles

For Your Home

Our pieces are made for real life — bowls for keys and coins, cushions for sofas and naps, lamps for warm evening light, candlesticks for everyday tables. They’re designed to fit into a home easily and to grow more familiar over time.

We believe in buying fewer things, choosing them well, and letting them become part of your life.
