Had an absolutely fantastic day with Gigha on the stained glass and driftwood workshop. There were an abundance of wonderful materials to choose from, clear instructions and all the help needed. The workshop space is so inviting, warm and friendly with Gigha’s beautiful creations all around to feast your eyes on. The hardest part of the day was my own decision making and choosing from all the wonderful colours and textures. Truly a fantastic experience and whilst I’m not local I will 100% be back for more... thank you Gigha

Sunshine and Snow stock a carefully curated collection of homeware, gifts and clothing. India opened the shop in 2018 after noticing the lack of design-led, artisan homeware and gifts available locally. There are two floors to explore, and plans for a cafe in the future.
