Eclectic Coffee Roasters 30+ years working in international trade and development has taken me on a coffee journey around the globe and back again. From Albania to Zambia, Austria to Zimbabwe, I’ve been drinking good, bad, and indifferent coffee, and immersing myself in its wonderful culture.   Somewhere along the line, shopping for coffee became confusing, with many online shops offering more choices than a Scandinavian smorgasbord. Choice isn’t always good. So I’ve kept it simple. Four 100% Arabica single origin speciality coffee choices, along with an espresso blend, based on your personal preferred roast style, choices that will change on a regular basis. Coffee is open for all to enjoy. Coffee doesn’t care if you brew with a Chemex or Moka Pot. Coffee isn’t bothered if you’re a hipster or a punk. Coffee just makes everything better.

Judith Mohebbyan Art About Judith Mohebbyan Art: I create abstract fluid art on canvases. I mix additives into acrylic paint until I reach a very fluid consistency and use different pouring techniques to create different effects on the canvas. The canvas is then tilted until I am happy with the composition.   The paint that runs off the canvas I dry, and use with glass cabuchons in jewellery making. I didn’t like to waste the paint so I recycle it.  I don’t sell the jewellery online but you can find it for sale in a few local places including The Lazy Hollow in Consett, The Hub, Mint Business Club in Consett and Crafters Emporium in Prudhoe.  I occasionally hire a table at different craft fairs. As well as buying art that I have already painted, I also do commission work. I consult with clients about their specific wants and needs and create bespoke pieces for them.  I have always been an artist and have used different media over the years but have fallen in love with fluid art. I love the freedom of letting go and not having total control of the finished results. Some of my pieces were exhibited in […]

The Shed of Steam Previously a plumber/joiner but, due to ill health, I had to find something that I could do which would put minimal strain on my health.  Old copper pipe and brass fittings were readily available to me so I began to create table lamps and this spread to other areas such as old brass blow lamps, oil cans etc and I am constantly developing new ideas and items.  I make coat hooks, bathroom sets and shelving.   I am also an Alchemy England trader and sell a vast range of ready to sell jewellery and homeware.  I also sell sterling silver jewellery.
