Baxters is passionate about craft, ceramics, sculpture and jewellery handmade in the UK by designer makers. We show contemporary artists and a wide selection of Dartmouth art prints. The bright and airy space of Baxters on the corner of Foss Street and Flavel Street in Dartmouth shows off the best in contemporary art, printmaking, craft and jewellery.
Angus was awarded a showcase at Baxters after Sarah Duggan the owner selected him from all the exhibitors at The Craft Festival at Bovey Tracey in 2024.
Since starting up his own business Angus has focused primarily on creating a range of functional, elegant and eye-catching home and kitchen ware products, utilising mixed metals and materials. The types of metal he chooses to use are critical in his designs as each one has varying properties to take advantage of. For example, on a scoop he will use stainless steel for its corrosion resistant properties on the handle and copper on the bowl for its malleability and beautiful colour. Steel with a high carbon content would be suitable for a blade because of its ability to hold a sharp edge.
Angus takes much of his inspiration from historic designs and processes with their simple forms and beautiful jointing methods. His designs are also greatly inspired by the fluid lines and elegance of historic French ironwork and are all created using traditional tools.

I visited in the summer with a friend and we spent ages browsing and dithering. In the end we left to think and came back before making our purchases, there was no pressure and the lady (maybe owner?!) cheerfully rummaged around to find other examples of prints to show us and offered suggestions without being pushy. She even told us Dodgy were playing on the green at the music festival! Helped make our visit to Dartmouth really enjoyable.
