Wight Leather Craft
Wight Leather Craft
was established by Luke
Holbrook in 2004 after a
hobby got way out of hand!
Now, nine years later the
company has a full leather
workshop and retail outlet
at Arreton Barns Craft
Village where they produce
and sell hand-made leather
goods.
Wight Leather Craft

specialise in hand-made
leather belts, with over 30
different buckles in stock.
You can choose a buckle
and the leather, and then
watch your belt being
made before it’s finished
to size for you or as a truly
unique gift. Where else can
you get one-hand made to
measure?

Diamond Isle Glass

Paul and his team of glass
blowers opened the Diamond
Isle Sculptured Glass studio the

opened more than 10 years ago.
They produce a stunning
array of beautiful hand-crafted
pieces from cute animals
to decorative figures and
commission pieces on request.
The team aim to demonstrate
glassblowing ever y day and
with both indoor and outdoor

viewing areas, you can get
a real up-close look at how
the pieces are created from
scratch entirely by hand. Each
member of staff has their own
individual style so no matter
when you visit, you're sure to
be delighted.
Paul and his team are looking
to expand the gallery space so
keep an eye out for the new
layout later in the year. www.
