Welcome
Welcome to the Cornucopia Crafts Website. We hope that you will find the pages in this website interesting and useful. We have organised the navigation of the site by category. Inside each category you will find an introduction to the subject as well as useful hints, tips and examples.
Cornucopia is set in the historic Abbey town of Hexham, Northumberland in the heart of Hadrian’s Wall Country. In 2005 Hexham was voted "England's Favourite Market Town" by Country Life Magazine. The listed building houses a vast selection of Art and Craft materials and the four Gallery rooms showcase a stunning collection of local Northumbrian Art and Craftwork. Workshops and demonstrations are held on a regular basis.
We hope this Website gives you a flavour of what we have to offer and we hope you will pay us a visit soon. A mail order service is available – please contact us by telephone, post or email. We welcome your comments and feedback.
