The Family Business

Welcome to the Workshop

Not a shop. A workshop.

Wayward Workshop grew out of our love of making things and our love of conventions. So we combined the two.

Made by nerds

Kevin and Jacky are a husband-and-wife team, lifelong geeks and enthusiastic makers with rather broad fandom tastes.

Made for cons

Everything is made for the convention table. Pick it up, smell it, spot the reference and take it home if it makes you grin.

A proper family business

Our workshop reaches beyond Cumbria. Kevin's sister Daphne and her husband Jamie bring wood and laser craft into the family from Papa Westray in Orkney.

The Workshop

Fandom, craft and a little bit of chaos.

Jacky is the ideas-and-design side of the operation, especially when something is delicate, colourful, fiddly or suspiciously small.

Kevin is the mixer, melter, pourer and mould-maker. He also handles the leatherwork and produces the original designs used to create many of our moulds.

We're interested in all sorts of fandoms: horror, science fiction, fantasy, Supernatural and whatever else catches our collective attention.

The important bit

You won't find us in an online shop.

Wayward Workshop exists for conventions. We're currently applying, plotting and waiting for our first confirmed stop.

Next stop
TBA 👀

When the first convention is confirmed, this is where you'll find the details.
