Cockington
Court Craft Studios
This impressive 17th century manor
house overlooks the park and village and is now home
to 10 craft-workers, all of whom, uniquely, can be seen
demonstrating their skills as you tour the studios. The
Glass-blowers, Blacksmith, Wood turner, Potter, Calligrapher
and artist, Printmaker, Jeweller, Ark
Gallery & Framing Studio and Joiner/Cabinet Maker are happy to talk about
their craft and to take commissions.
We look forward to welcoming Angela Richardson in February, who will be showcasing her floral designs and textile art.
The grounds around the Court are also full of interest.
Behind the house are the peaceful walled Rose Garden
and Organic Kitchen Garden, the latter being a treasure-trove
of useful tips and ideas on wildlife-friendly gardening
and successful vegetable-growing. Walks and ancient paths
lead from the Court all around the estate and these are
well-signposted; leaflets are also available inside the manor house.
The Court is a popular venue for civil
weddings, conferences
and meetings
We currently have craft studios available for rent at Cockington Court - please contact Kate Foster on 01803 606035 for more details, or email kate@countryside-trust.org.uk
