Firwood Designs

We specialize in hand painted silk shoes, ties, scarves, cushions and cards for special occasions.

Although we always have these items in stock for those who like to visit us and purchase on the spot, we will happily create something special to meet individual requirements. This takes a little longer but will result in a very unique and very personal piece.

Our exquisite painted shoes delight many brides, bridesmaids, mothers and mothers-in-law as we are able to incorporate specific designs and color schemes from wedding fabrics and bouquets.

Soft floating scarves in habotai silk or silk organza and handbags can also be painted to match the shoes. Not forgetting the groom, best man and fathers, linking ideas can be used on ties and bow-ties, creating a total look for a very special day.

Apart from our own design work we stock a superb range of imaginative and unusual items, ideal presents not only for friends and family, but also as a treat for yourself.

On our shelves are hand made Cornish teapots, candleholders, cushions, picture frames, doorstops, teddy bears, dolls and ceramics. Our stock also includes enchanting Russian ceramics and a wonderful collection of authentic Russian dolls, some of which are suitable for children. Others are exquisite collectors' pieces. All are individually hand-painted, so no two are exactly the same. Do visit if you are looking for something unusual. Maybe you will find just what you are looking for. We are situated by the archway leading into the hotel courtyard, and are open seven days a week
