Our sturdy yet elegant kitchen storage island is made from sustainable natural wood (usually Redwood or Larch) and features a chunky granite worktop.

This particular kitchen island trolley measures approx. 89 cm high X 91.5 cm wide and 43 cm deep and we are always happy to design to your specifications,

Our shelves with coat hanger hooks (as seen above) are a stylish way to tidy utensils, aprons & tea towels or display your favourite crockery and go-to cookery books along the top.

View our handcrafted kitchen furniture and storage collection online.

With a metal side rail for smooth portability and which can be used to hold tea towels or appropriately handled kitchen utensils; our handmade wooden kitchen island rests on sturdy caster wheels with breaks, so that you can securely station your storage cart wherever you choose.

Our kitchen island trolley will add stylish and adaptable storage within your kitchen area, with two properly constructed pull drawers, and two wide shelves, each with 26 cm of usable height.

The robust shelves of our kitchen island are excellent for keeping your cooking pots, cups, plates or food tidily arranged; the upper shelf is in slatted wood to aid the circulation of fresh air and increase the shelf life of your fresh fruit & vegetables.

This handmade kitchen island has been finished in modern pale grey; because our solid wooden kitchen cabinets, wall shelves and kitchen storage islands are each handcrafted to order in our rural workshop, you can choose to have more space devoted to drawers and the number or height of your shelves.

We are happy to use a different paint or a wood toned Danish Oil if you would prefer an alternative finish to perfectly suit both your space and your personal style.

Contact Marc and Rachel to discuss your own bespoke wooden kitchen storage design, kitchen island prices start at £450 for a natural wooden worktop option.

New ‘pop up’ shop for Ilminster hopes to entice shoppers with unique pieces, handmade by local designer -makers

24th November 2019 By Marc Wood Leave a Comment

As featured in the local newspaper, our new Emporium style ‘pop up’ shop has just opened in Ilminster and we are one of five crafty designer-makers who’ve set it up.

We are offering something a bit different with a collective approach and an array of handmade art and craft items.

Follow and share with us on Facebook.

It is hoped that this handcrafted collection will encourage the shoppers of South Somerset to visit and buy directly from us, the designer-makers, with custom orders and craft workshops also available.

Our shop is selling a variety of natural hand dyed wool, embroidery art, hand felted wearable art, jewellery, hand knitted garments from hand spun Yak and Alpaca wool, haberdashery and of course our high quality handmade sustainable wooden furniture, mirrors, picture frames.

By offering a different shopping experience, sharing the financial risk and dividing up time commitments, Alison Haggas, Caroline Cliffe, Joan Aslett, Nicola Kalocsai and ourselves are able to stand against the pressures currently felt by many independent retailers along our small town high streets.

It’s really important for the local economy that we buy from our smaller shops whenever we can, sadly many empty shop spaces can be seen throughout South Somerset and more than 2,870 shops have closed across the UK so far in 2019 (research by PwC and the Local Data Company)

The new shop ‘Art & Craft’ at 18 Silver Street is opening as an experimental ‘pop up’ until the end of December, gifting Ilminster 8 weeks of crafty pieces to buy for yourself or family & friends, this time frame may be extended if demand allows.

Sharing the running of ‘Art & Craft’ means that at least one of our creative group will be available each day to help you find that perfect handmade gift, advise on haberdashery or sign you up to a hands-on natural dye workshop.

Rachel Wood is running ‘Art & Craft on behalf of Marc Wood Joinery;

“ On our first Saturday of opening the reaction from visitors was really encouraging, we heard some great comments about nice it is to have something different and of course getting to actually meet the makers of our handcrafted items is a real bonus for our customers “

Shoppers can expect ever changing window displays and various workshops, plus local honey from Ilminster hives, supplied by Annie Kilty which is already a proven hit at the town square market on Thursdays.

* Art & Craft apologise for any inconvenience as only cash payments can be taken at present.

Art & Craft is at no. 18 Sliver Street, Ilminster TA19 0DN and is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm until the end of December 2019 and longer if demand allows.
