Meet the makers
Beeswax Flame
Candles & home fragrance
I roll and dip pure beeswax tapers scented only with essential oils. No palm wax, no plastic wrap, no cellophane.
Clay Table
Ceramics
I make small-batch tableware with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot. Seconds go on the table at the end and always sell first.
Heron Editions
Print & illustration
I draw and risograph small editions with hand-mixed inks and visible registration. Cards and prints — the cards keep the lights on.
Muddy Pond
Pet treats & accessories
I bake dog treats from human-grade ingredients no additives, no fillers, nothing a person could not eat. Half of everything goes in the pot for the Pet Blood Bank.
Potting Room
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic.
Quire Bindery
Stationery
I marble paper the traditional way so no two covers are ever the same. No plastic wrap, no cellophane, no shrink film.
Rescue Room
Vintage & upcycled
I upcycle old linens into new things from a barn in Bucks I have been slowly emptying since 2019. Everything is tested and carries a PAT sticker.
River Kitchen
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
Solder Jewellery
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in brass and silver with a hammered finish that catches the light. Free resizing for life on all my rings.
Tallow Row
Candles & home fragrance
I blend natural fragrance oils into soy wax free of paraffin, palm and phthalates. The seconds shelf is candles with a wonky top and a full burn time.
The Indigo Cloth
Textiles & accessories
I sew bags from salvaged sailcloth and canvas from offcuts that would otherwise be landfill. Repairs are free, forever. Send it back and I will fix it.
The Loom Row
Textiles & accessories
I block-print cloth by hand with natural dyes I grow or forage. Every piece is one of a run of ten at most.
The Solder Row
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in brass and silver with a hammered finish that catches the light. Every piece is made to order and sized on the day where I can.
Whittle Shed
Kids & toys
I make play silks dyed with plants in colours from onion skin, madder and indigo. Tested to EN71 — I have the certificates on the stall.
