Folk Collection | Fundraised over £2K for Arts

St. Eval candles reignite the arts with Creative Kernow and Acting for Others

Thank you to everyone who has helped us fundraise over £2,000 for two incredible creative arts charities this summer through the sales of our Folk tins.

We were inspired to help re-ignite the arts during these challenging times and pledged to donate 10% of sales from our new Folk tin candle collection as well as sharing the exciting arts projects, tales from arty-folk and fun from Creative Kernow's FEAST programme across social media and beyond. We hope you enjoyed reading about the wide variety of arts and community projects which were uniting people and lifting spirits though the mayhem.

Folk - Supporting the Arts | Cousin Jack's

Cousin Jack's are a Cornwall based professional theatre company that creates work to inspire children and their families. They are most well-known for their adaptation of the much-loved Cornish children's book, The Mousehole Cat. We spoke with Guy Watson, Artistic Director at Cousin Jack’s, to learn more about how FEAST and the Re-Ignition project helped them in their time of need earlier this year.
