At the heart of my studio, art and alchemy intertwine...

"At the heart of my studio, art and alchemy intertwine, where the ancient craft of sculpture meets the timeless art of apothecary. Each piece I create — from hand-carved sculptures to organic soaps, skincare, diffusers and candles — is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the transformative power of tradition. Using pure essential oils and age-old recipes rooted in alchemy and ancient apothecaries, my work is a celebration of the senses.

In my studio, every sculpture tells a story of form and texture, while each skincare product and candle carries the essence of natural ingredients, crafted with the same care and precision. Through this fusion of art and craft, I invite you to experience the profound connection between artist, maker, and nature—each creation is an expression of both ancient wisdom and modern artistry”.

Explore a carefully curated collection of handmade products, gifts, and unique treasures, all presented with care.

Handmade Soaps, Body Products & Bath Treats

Our small-batch soaps, lotions, body oils, and bath products are crafted with botanical ingredients and essential oils. Every item is hand-finished and wrapped, reflecting our commitment to quality and natural care. From gentle skincare to indulgent bath products, each creation turns everyday rituals into moments of simple luxury.

Candles, Diffusers & Fragrances

These items make perfect gifts or personal treats, bringing a little of the English countryside into your home.

Curated Gifts & Artisan Products

Our shop is filled with design-led homeware, quirky vintage finds, and locally made crafts. You’ll also find our own “Q Range” — stylish mugs, tea towels, and greeting cards featuring English wildlife and icons. Every item is chosen for its quality, charm, and timeless appeal, ideal for birthdays, weddings, or simply treating yourself.

Lacock Gin
