Sun, sea, and studio milestones: Studio Kiln on navigating their first year as a creative business

Tucked away in Cornwall, Studio Kiln are a creative practice bringing brands and their stories to life. Having reached their one-year anniversary as a team, it was time for Charlie Hocking and Nathan Smith to celebrate and reflect on the satisfying (and sometimes bumpy) path so far. Alongside the launch of their new website, they share the realities of setting up a studio outside of London, and the refreshing perspective that comes with working by the sea. PT: Hi Charlie and Nathan, how’s life in Cornwall? CH: Hey Poppy! Life in Cornwall is great thanks. Falmouth is a fun place to be and you’ve caught us in the middle of a sunny patch, which always makes things better.
