Welcome
In the middle of Middle Street, just round the corner from the historic harbour in Brixham, you will find an interesting and unusual shop. We are a makers' studio and gallery where creativity and craftsmanship are celebrated. We are proud to be part of Middle Street Traders – independent shops and independent minds.
Our workshops
Annie Sloan Chalk Painting
Learn to use techniques to transform, enhance or update your furniture using Annie Sloan products.
What we do
We find and collect furniture, vintage things and working tools, then restore and upcycle them. We make furniture and produce original art and illustrations. We stock faux flowers which we use to create unique bouquets for our customers, Devonia sheepskins, hand-made soap, ceramics and wool felting. We hold workshops and tutorials on painting furniture using Annie Sloan paints and techniques. And we invite craftspeople and artists to share their techniques, tips and skills.
Come inside and explore
We aim to create an environment where creativity is shared and celebrated. For many years we have produced interiors for various building projects – these have been well received and many people have been interested in and inspired by our design ideas and use of colour and materials. We hope that Flotsam 50 will showcase our style and be a constantly changing parade of creativity. So come inside and explore.
