KRAFTYKNAP

A new and exciting range of decorative hame and garden products

Kraftyknap was created by Martin and Shayne Gibbs some years ago. In its early days we just experimented with decorating various items using a technique that Shayne learnt on a craft course that she attended. Due to a change in my circumstances meaning I had time on my hands to learn a new project we decided to put together a part time business to offer these products to our family and friends to gauge reaction. We started with just decorating terracotta flowerpots which quickly moved on to mdf household items. We decided to exhibit at local craft fairs over the last few years and found that considering the difficult marketing conditions we achieved reasonable results and have seen a marked upturn in business over the last year. We always strive to offer something new so a while back we decided to resurrect a handmade childrens clothes section to our business which was formerly flown under the flag of Emma Henley Of Bath. This part of the business is solely down to my wife Shayne who is an excellent childs dressmaker having once owned the business Emma Henley Of Bath before being forced to give up the business due to ill health. However, we have decided to continue to offer a range of pinafores in Cord, Tartan and Gingham in a range of colours and will extend the range further through the year to accommodate seasonal changes etc. This move proved very successful for us in recent years so we have decided to extend this range even more through this year with new designs and fabrics to compliment further the range of evergreen products we carry.
