About The Craft Collective

The Craft Collective is a makers' shop at 90 Fore Street in Redruth, not Falmouth as this listing previously said. It opened on 4 June 2016 and works on a rental model: local makers pay a set monthly fee for display space and keep their sales, with the shop taking no commission and handling display, selling and packaging. More than 60 makers are in the shop at any time, and since opening it has helped 292 mostly local independent businesses sell their work; around 70 per cent of its artists come from the Redruth area. Stock is all handmade and includes hand thrown bowls, mugs and vases, silver jewellery, paintings and prints, textiles and crochet, woodwork, glassware, greetings cards, candles and soaps. An upstairs workshop room hosts creative workshops and clubs covering jewellery making, sewing, crochet and mosaic, with dates posted on the shop's social media. It opens Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm and is closed on Sunday and Monday; telephone the number on this listing. It suits anyone looking for a Cornish made gift in a town centre setting, visitors exploring Redruth's mining heritage who want something to take home, and makers wanting a low cost route to selling their work.
