A childhood love of Arts and Crafts
Born from a childhood love for beautiful arts and crafts, and a deep connection with Wales, First Of March was founded by Ruth in 2019.
I wanted to establish a unique community of Makers creating world class craft from the heart of Wales - a company that contributed to the cultural, social and economic story of Wales.
A digital portal to an analogue world
Founded in the traditions of craft, First Of March embraces the modernity of the online world - creating a conduit through which the beauty of the analogue, tactile world can be enjoyed, connecting Makers to an international audience where they can be true ambassadors for their craft and Wales.
Capturing the storytelling power of craft
Intuitive storytellers, our Makers infuse their work with a narrative missing from homogenous mass production, uniquely inspired by the legends, landscapes and culture of Wales and the heritage of craft.
In understanding the storytelling power of exquisite craftsmanship, First Of March is now a bespoke online destination showcasing beautiful collections and individual one off pieces, made with the meticulous attention to detail and imbued with the handmade authenticity that is the hallmark of extraordinary and exceptional craftsmanship.
A passion to be shared
Grateful for the trust and support of every Maker, I seek to share my passion for their art and hope that you will support this amazing community.
Let me introduce you to established and emerging Makers, collections and commissions: an opportunity to meet and get to know their history but most of all be inspired by their artistry and mastery of craft.
