I set up Crackpots with my wife and family in 2005, to run alongside our other jobs.   The business is based on our passion for arts and crafts, and aims to make craft-working more accessible to people in rural Mid Wales.  We do ‘paint it yourself’ pottery and enamelled jewellery making parties, working with groups of all kinds from children to senior citizens.

You can have your cake AND eat it - you can have a full or part time job working for someone else as well as running your own business in your own time!

Tony Orme - Crackpots

The business has turned a hobby into something commercially tangible, giving us additional income and involving us in community activity, which we love.
