The cork people began as a second year university project. They are all individually hand painted. The idea was that champagne corks could be painted to look like charcaters. A simple idea and it grew. To date im sure there have been nearly 100 cork people made, from criminals to office workers, adam and eve to the devil. I've even made cork darleks and cork spiderman. I'm currently working on builiding up a stock of the cork people for sale in th future so watch this space. they have been branded and had there packaging designed so now its just the hard work of collecting and painting enough corks to make a cork collection for sale. I've also got to decide where i want to sell them... online or try and get them into shops but there's a little while before we get that far!
