About Us

Unique, Sustainable, Local.

Peach Plot is an arts studio and shop at The Craft Yard by the station in Bedale, North Yorkshire. It's owned and run by local artist Claire Peach.

Her jewellery, cards and gifts are all lovingly handmade and hand painted, making each piece totally unique.

Sustainability is at the heart of Peach Plot, and materials are sourced responsibly, using wood from FSC-certified forests and all other materials coming from recycled sources wherever possible. 

Claire as an artist is always looking to the natural world and her love of books for her next source of inspiration, and aims to bring a little and colour and joy into the world with each piece she creates.

A little back story: 

After graduating university with a degree in art, Claire Peach started Peach Plot in 20123 with her mother, Beverly.

Originally conceived as an outlet for their creativity, their artistic work drew heavily from nature, folklore, and fairy tales from all around the world.

They created figures, books, jewellery and decorations from a collection of textiles, papers and wood – particularly reusing old, recycled and found materials gathered over many years. Pieces of their work featured in art exhibitions all over the UK.

Unfortunately in 2016, Beverley passed away following a short battle with cancer.

Peach Plot continues in Bev’s memory, with Claire designing unique creations in keeping with the duo’s original work and her mum’s creative influence – all the while adding own her style and flair.
