The wheelOF LIFE

How a potent fusion of water, earth and creativity took Tyrane Van den Berg on a pottery journey to the islands.

Born in 1988, Ty is a self-taught potter, whose love for life and adventure saw him and his fiancée settle on St Martin’s on the Isles of Scilly. As a boy, Ty was fascinated with mud in all its forms and would spend hours scratching in the clay on the banks of a stream that bordered a family friend’s house on the coast of KwaZulu Natal. “I used to be amazed at how, when you put the mud in the stream, it would disappear into a cloud. I made my mother my first little pot in that spot, engraved with ‘I love mom’, I remember it so vividly.”

Since getting his first wheel three years ago when they arrived on Scilly, Ty has never looked back. His passion for the whole pottery process, from the raw ingredients and how clay behaves to the glazing and firing is evident both in his enthusiasm and the end results: “When I am in my studio, I feel a true sense of myself and it becomes a place of meditation. My mind is free to explore and follow my dreams and designs. I am inspired by pots of the past and the natural

EXPERIENCE

Ty’s pottery is available to order online and is packed in eco-friendly, recyclable, biodegradable and compostable packaging.

forms and colours of nature, which are reflected in my choice of colours – blues, greens and earthy tones.”

Ty’s pottery studio on St Martin’s was once a derelict old shed. Now lovingly renovated, Ty creates beautifully individual pieces of tableware, each slightly different from the other. “I love how different shapes and glazes come out after firing,” says Ty, “and I am so lucky that the Isles of Scilly attracts thousands of visitors a year, which in turn allows me to sell my pottery even at this early stage of learning.”

Belying Ty’s self-confessed infancy in the pottery world, his designs have a beauty that transcend their functionality with glazes and patterns inspired by Scilly. If you’re looking to support small, local businesses this Christmas, Thrown by Ty is certainly one to look out for this season!

Send well wishes with a charitable twist from Whistlefish this Christmas.

FROM THEIR HOME to yours

The tradition of sending Christmas cards is long-established. For family, friends and colleagues, it’s an act that reminds the person that they are cared for, which can be especially well-received at the end of a tough year. Not only that, the receipt of physical cards marks the moment that the festive season is truly upon us; their display a daily reminder of the excitement to come.

Christmas cards have come a long way since the hand painted vintage designs, but two things remain; well wishes and celebration. Now in 2022, not only are Whistlefish’s new Christmas cards full of festive messages and wintry scenes, they are also decorated with beautiful shining foil – one that can be recycled. In fact, every part of the card range is made with the environment in mind. The paper is FSC certified from a sustainable source as well as being 100% recyclable and not packaged in any plastic. What’s more, being printed in Cornwall means that these cards certainly have less carbon footprint than Santa’s sleigh, as well as contributing to the local economy – providing jobs and income all year round.

This year a portion of all Christmas card sales will be donated to two charities; The Clydesdale Horse Society and The Prince’s Trust. Whistlefish was founded with the help of The Prince’s Trust 26 years ago and has donated thousands of pounds to the Trust over the years, becoming one of the most successful businesses to emerge and as a result they have now been made an Associate Partner. They are raising funds for the Trust to help to support more young entrepreneurs by giving them a helping hand in starting their own businesses.

Aside from Christmas cards, you can discover a bigger collection than ever of art and gifts designed in Cornwall and sourced sustainably. From paperback notebooks adorned with poinsettias to fig-covered cotton tea towels, there are gifts to delight any friend or relative this Christmas.

Dedicated to providing and producing the most delectable Cornish treats for cooking, eating and entertaining, The Cornish Kitchen is a delicatessen stocked with a delicious selection of curated products produced by small artisanal businesses from all over the South West.

For the all-round perfect gift, a Christmas hamper really says it all, and with their carefully curated selection of Cornish hampers filled with locally sourced artisanal food and drink, you may have a hard time deciding between them!

For the ultimate foodie experience, the Cornish Foodie Hamper promises satisfaction: with a bottle of Polgoon Rondo red; Cornwall Pasta; Hemptation pesto; a selection of Truffle Hunter oils; Cornish Jack; pilchards; a Sea Salt pinch pot, plus marzipan and chocolate chip cookies from The Cornish Kitchen.

The Evening Coffee and Chocolate Hamper with a Kalkar coffee spirit, Chocolarder chocolate, Chocolarder truffles and Hemptation CBD chocolate, suggests the cosiest of evenings with a friend by the fire. If you’d prefer something more savoury, the Nibbles and Tipples Hamper can provide just that, containing Pentire non-alcoholic spirits, Land of Saints organic gin, Navas tonic, Cornish olives, mushroom paté from Cornish Charcuterie and sugared almonds to round it off.

The Cornish ITALIAN

An e-commerce dedicated to tiramisu and a one-of-a-kind takeaway of top-notch Italian fresh pasta meals.

TheCornish Italian’s story is one of young entrepreneurship, and begins with a young man who pursued a career in theatre, only to find himself with his own business dedicated to the Italian dessert par excellence, tiramisu. Now shipped all over the UK, the tiramisu recipe is the same as always, belonging to his father, the person to whom much of the project is owed. Today there are many other menu items, with the format constantly evolving, and Ugo’s entrepreneurial skills are becoming increasingly refined.

But let’s turn back the clock and start from the beginning; born in 1991 from Imperia, Ugo Massabò is an artistic director who started working in the theatre at age 15. In 2005, after the death of his father, he created a show in his honour, which was staged until 2012. “When I left the theatre, I met Laura, my wife. We now have our baby boy Piero. She was the one who suggested putting my managerial skills at the service of an effective product, one that was simple for me to make and sell.” Thus, TiramisUGO was born! An artisan tiramisu brand created as a fabulous alternative to the classic ice cream sold in theatres.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Ugo had to act quickly: “With the first lockdown, we had to adapt, so we started selling fresh homemade pasta meals via a newly created e-commerce takeaway.” A simple, yet delicious menu was born and The Cornish Italian began, now shipping throughout the UK.

While the fresh pasta meals are to die for, TiramisUGO is indeed the star of the show. These delicious tiramisus come in Original, Chocolate, Cornish Rum, Vegan and now Gluten Free, so everyone can enjoy this criminally good dessert. Made with fresh Cornish St Ewe eggs and the finest Italian ingredients, each little jar of joy lasts up to 10 days in the fridge, so they really are great to have to hand over the Christmas holidays, and make wonderful presents for a little taste of Italy. You will also be able to find this amazing pudding at their new food truck across Cornwall.
