About the Company / Business

Suffolk Made site is an online retail site, showcasing an eclectic and inspiring collection of contemporary and traditional hand made pieces by skilled artisans. Its objective is to work with Suffolk based artisans, who are passionate about what they make and their affiliation with Suffolk, promoting their skills and products. Suffolk Made endorses local crafts and provides makers with a platform for world-wide exposure. Suffolk Made markets and sells on line, whilst sourcing new craftsmen to join.

Trained ceramicist Claire Staddon, mother of two and married to a wood carver, founded Suffolk Made. Claire has always appreciated the benefits of well designed, hand made products. She believes value of how things fill a space, however utilitarian their function brings a rare joy to the everyday humdrum of life. Having filled her own, her friends and her family’s kitchen cupboards with tableware, she began to look for other products from local makers to enrich her home.

Over time Claire has become more and more passionate about hand made products and less inclined toward the mass produced disposable items that are more easily available.

A maker herself and being married to one gives Claire the perfect opportunity to meet other artisans that live locally, all dedicated to their chosen craft and passionate about making stylish and quality products.

Believing there are a lot of people out there who are looking for form, function and quality craftsmanship, Claire has created Suffolk Made Ltd as a means to this end. She looks for the highest quality craftspeople, based in Suffolk, who produce a varied range of products.

These products are all beautifully hand crafted to order for each customer. Suffolk Made Ltd is very proud to endorse the fantastic skills that the county of Suffolk hides within it rural depths.
