Alchemy Tiles Wins at the Cornwall Living Awards 2025
Alchemy Tiles is thrilled to announce that its founder and artist, Mel Chambers, has won the Artists, Galleries and Designers Award at the prestigious Cornwall Living Awards 2025.
The Cornwall Living Awards celebrate the very best of the region, its makers, creators, innovators, and businesses that capture the true essence of Cornwall’s creativity and spirit. This year’s event, hosted by the Cornwall Living team, brought together inspiring individuals and enterprises from across the county for a night of recognition, connection, and celebration.
For Mel, this award represents much more than a professional milestone. Each Alchemy Tile is hand-cut and hand-carved, crafted from the heart, and inspired by the natural beauty, mythology, and soul of Cornwall. Every piece tells a story, one of patience, skill, and love for an ancient craft that she continues to honour and evolve.
Winning the Artists, Galleries and Designers Award acknowledges not only Mel’s artistry but also her dedication to preserving and reimagining traditional craftsmanship in a modern world. It stands as a testament to the value of handmade work and the importance of supporting local creative businesses that bring beauty and meaning into people’s lives.
Mel expressed her gratitude, saying:
“I am absolutely delighted to have won the Artists, Galleries and Designers Award at the Cornwall Living Awards 2025. This recognition means so much to me and to Alchemy Tiles, celebrating the passion, craftsmanship, and the importance of supporting local businesses. A huge thank you to the Cornwall Living team for a brilliant and memorable awards ceremony and for supporting my work through the good and the bad times.”
Mel also extends her heartfelt thanks to everyone who voted and continues to support her work, from kind words on social media to those who have brought her tiles into their homes. Each interaction has played a part in this incredible achievement.
As she celebrates this wonderful recognition, Mel is already looking ahead. New and exciting work is in development at Alchemy Tiles, marking the beginning of another inspiring chapter in her creative journey.
