The Manx Workshop for the Disabled is upping its game, producing a new range of Manx-inspired, luxury-end goods.
In the past the workshop team's won ad-hoc, last-minute orders from local businesses.
But the new lines include clocks set in hand-polished local timber and wood-barrelled pens, all bearing traditional Manx motifs.
And they'll be sold as luxury goods in gift shops around the Island, including Manx National Heritage outlets.
Heading the new venture is Martin Sewell, now chairman of the Manx Workshop for the Disabled.
He says the aim's to make the workshop less dependent on donations:
Sailings altered as 'ongoing dredging issues' lead to 'insufficient water depths in Douglas port'
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
Motion to sell Old Castletown Police Station to be put before Tynwald
