We are Giles and Fiona, after a significant life event we wanted to find alternative business ideas in the things that we enjoy, because life should be fun.  

After very busy careers in IT we started to explore our passions and talents to see if other people might also find them beautiful, fascinating or useful. 

Fiona's love of gemstones and natural materials fuels her creative passion for jewellery. Using stones, glass, wood, wire and shells she is able to create the most delicate and balanced pieces which are beautiful and very easy to wear.

Working with wood really inspired Giles and he turned his hand to turning! From this, the Pinner Pen Company and the Pinner Shaving Company developed...

So now he specialises in all things wood turning - both hand turned gifts and unique items.

It's a very special thing to make something that is used every day by the person who buys it or is gifted it.

Truly the perfect combination of beautiful and useful.

Supplying the pen turning community with trusted tools, pen kits and assistance. 

We only supply what we like, make and can recommend.
