Handmade, eco-friendly crafts and workshops

Velle Creative is a small, family-run arts and crafts business led by me, Emma Velle. I’ve loved making things for others for as long as I can remember and have been crafting since I was very small. Working creatively has always felt like home to me. My inspiration comes from the local countryside, the changing seasons and the simple joy of making something from natural, sustainable materials. After experiencing corporate burn-out, I’ve been reconnecting with creativity, nature and community as part of my own recovery—and Velle Creative has grown from that journey. We make and sell handmade, eco-friendly pieces that reflect the beauty around us and we also run creative workshops for both adults and children. These sessions are relaxed, welcoming and designed to give people space to slow down, enjoy making something meaningful and feel part of a caring community. Velle Creative is all about creativity, connection and wellbeing—crafting with intention and sharing that joy with others.

The Inner Hearth offers handmade skin and bath products and home fragrance, alongside tarot readings and birth chart guidance. Everything offered is designed to be practical, supportive, and easy to return to, created for people whose lives are full and who do not want care or guidance to feel like another task. The focus is on simple, comforting offerings that support rest, reflection, and presence in everyday life, without pressure, instruction, or expectation.
