Welcome to Kiln

about us

Kiln is a design led studio and shop housed in a converted agricultural barn in the beautiful hamlet of Porthilly in Rock. It is a short stroll from the busy village of Rock with all of its amenities. The business was originally founded in 2015 in a tiny fisherman’s cottage in nearby Port Isaac.

At the heart of the business is Sue Pullin, whose contemporary designs are painted by hand onto fine English bone china and also reproduced on a range of paper and textile products. Sue has been designing and painting china for over 30 years and now produces all of her work personally in either her home studio in Port Isaac or in her studio at the shop. To complement Sue's products we also import a range of Scandinavian homewares and gifts as well as stocking some of the finest products from Cornwall.

Our objective is to always try to offer something different and wherever possible, unique!

We are trying to do our bit for the environment and in particular to reduce single use plastic which is choking our oceans. We only buy paper bubble wrap and tape and are reusing as much supplier packaging as possible in our web shipments. We are also replacing regular with biodegradable or compostable plastic wherever we can!

We have the majority of the shop’s products available on the on-line shop, but if there are products you have seen in the shop which do not appear on-line please use the contact form to request them.  It may be that they are available but not yet on-line.
