our materials: reclaimed cornish slate

like all of our materials, we spend a lot of time sourcing & choosing the right pieces.
our slate comes from old buildings and are sometimes so dirty that it is impossible to see the colours and markings underneath.
it's a lot of work cleaning them up, chipping away just to get to the slate.
once we have cleaned them up we can see the beautiful colours and markings in each piece - a mixture of deep & light blues, little patches of rusty orange, greys, browns & blacks, and sometimes a real defined contrast of lights & darks.
every single piece of slate is different which makes each item that we make unique.

Glenn hand cuts each piece and then polishes the slate to reveal more of the colours that have occured due to the slate being weathered for years and years and years.
we use reclaimed cornish slate in our accessories collection for our mirrors, ranging from small portrait ones to large sculptural panoramic ones.
we also make a range of clocks from this beautiful slate, polishing a circle for the face so it's smooth and leaving the rest slightly textured.

new mirrors on our website

we have just added 4 new mirrors to the accessories page on our website - they are all fairly large sculptural mirrors, 3 in reclaimed cornish slate & 1 made with lots of lovely oak off-cuts.
the details for each mirror are on our website - do have a look and tell us what you think.




our square off-set mirror has a beautiful piece of reclaimed cornish slate covering two thirds, with a long strip of mirror to one side. this piece (when not in stock) can be made to order, and at different sizes depending on the slate we can get - and, as every piece of the slate is different, each mirror will be unique. {more details here}





we first made our full-length oak off-cuts mirrors last year for a summer show and they sold straight away. the oak off-cuts are all different widths & heights, with some being slightly darker in colour than others. again, with the off-set design that we use often, the full-length piece of mirror sits to one side. {more details here}





{left} this is one of our favourite new designs probably because it's so striking as it's over 2 metres long. we have exhibited a couple of these mirrors now in beautiful white spaces and they have sold instantly. pieces of reclaimed cornish slate this size are becoming harder to find but we do have a few pieces in stock to make commissions like this. {more details here}
{right} this mirror was originally made as a commission for a couple in london to go over their fireplace. they needed a really large mirror and the reclaimed cornish slate that we use is impossible to find in the sizes they needed, so we came up with the 2 piece frame. we thought it worked really well and they loved it. {more details here}
