Fern Dale Handcrafted

One maker, one workbench, and three ways of sharing what I make.

where it all began ~ the market table

Hello, I'm Kathryn,

Fern Dale Handcrafted started at a single market table, with candles I'd poured and soaps I'd cut by hand in my Wiltshire workshop.

Over time it grew into three branches. Rituals is the candles, melts and tallow skincare. Keepsakes is for the little moments worth holding on to. And Makers Studio is the system I built to keep my own workshop running, now shared with other makers.

Different shelves, the same hands and the same care behind every one.

With love, Kathryn x
