We met many creatives who have been able to turn their passions into lucrative businesses and they were all showcased at the Conu’co Market at the Cove. Here are some of the talented entrepreneurs we met.
This family-run business has been providing leather bags, sandals as well as jewellery made with commonly found materials in Jamaica. Iela Sandals & Accessories Jamaica embodies the essence of true Jamaican creativity.
Although the products they make are commonly found, it is the uniqueness of the style that makes them stand out. And after over 20 years in the business, you can see why.

Claud Hoilett has taken his love for art and clay and turned it into something truly spectacular. If you want a flower pot made from clay but doesn’t “look like” it is, then one of
The glazed clay pots would be perfect for you. The glazed look is not only for style, but it also increases the durability of the product as it will be better able to withstand the elements. Though they are flower pots they can double as decorative pieces for shelves and tables as well.
Claud also creates wall art and sculpted faces from clay as well as custom jewellery. Art of Clay products are African-inspired.

Have you ever looked at plain old sand and thought to yourself, this would make the perfect sculpture? No? Me either. But, luckily for us, the creative mind behind Irie Arts did.
And now we know it is possible to make a 3D turtle from the sand. Most of her items are animals, mainly, sea creatures but it's her sand clocks that are a best seller in Negril where the business is based. The woven or braided pieces are also great home decor pieces as well.
