The Workshop
Two nerds, one extended family, several crafts and an alarming number of ideas.
The people behind the mayhem.
Wayward Workshop is run by husband-and-wife team Kevin and Jacky. They're huge nerds who happen to enjoy making things nearly as much as they enjoy the fandoms that inspire them.
Jacky is usually the one with the ideas and the designs, particularly when something involves delicate shapes, colour and tiny fiddly pieces.
Kevin is the mixer, melter and pourer, especially when the design gets a little rougher around the edges. He also creates the original pieces used to make many of our moulds and handles the leather craft.
From Cumbria to Papa Westray.
The Family Business is not just a tagline.
Kevin's sister Daphne and her husband Jamie, our brother-in-law, run Motley Way, a small multi-craft family business on Papa Westray in the Orkney Islands. They also make rather lovely artisan bread, because apparently one craft was never going to be enough.
Jamie already makes wooden soap boxes for our sister business, Whiff & Flame. That family collaboration naturally grew into Wayward Workshop, with small wooden building kits, boxes, plaques and laser-cut creations joining the range.
So while Kevin and Jacky make the soap, scent, wax and leather pieces in Cumbria, Daphne and Jamie add another workshop, another island and another branch of the family to Wayward Workshop.
