This summer we are very proud to present a collection of Dandelion Hares sculptures and bowls as well as bowls inspired by Chesil Beach and the Race at Portland Bill. As we are both regular customers of the cafe we can absolutely recommend to make it a lunch stop and to discover the wonderfully shaded garden too.

  • An amazingly lifelike sculpted clay portrait of an elderly man wearing a flat cap, sculpted by blind sculptress Shani with the help of her apprentice. Grandad’s portrait.

    It's finished!

    It's taken us a full 7 months and we've done it!

    Grandad's portrait is only Shani's third attempt to create a full size portrait and it is also the first time she is sculpting someone she hadn't 'seen' before and yet, from our first visit to grandad's house, we all know we were witnessing pure magic. To retrace this fantastic journey in clay, visit our Facebook or Instagram account @happyyouandmee and watch the videos Anaick posted along the way.
