Meet the makers
Amber Studio
Candles & home fragrance
I make beeswax candles from our own hives with wax from twelve hives in the Chilterns.
Beeswax Field
Candles & home fragrance
I pour rapeseed wax candles by hand in returnable glass, with a cotton wick and nothing synthetic. Bring the jar back and the refill is a third off.
Bench Company
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway. Re-oiling is free, bring it back any time.
Copper Pantry
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time. Labels are printed on recycled stock and hand-written.
Cullet House
Glass
I fuse and slump kiln-formed glass from bottles collected at these very markets.
Ember Cart
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest. Our meat is British free-range organic and we are happy to be asked about it.
Ember Spoon
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before.
Fire Grill
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment.
Flint Canteen
Streetfood
We cook Georgian khachapuri fresh on the griddle with cheese from a dairy eleven miles from the market.
Folio Studio
Print & illustration
I make screen prints in two or three colours of the river, the deer park and the birds on them.
Relic Salvage
Vintage & upcycled
I sell carefully chosen vintage glass and china nothing bought to resell from a wholesaler, ever.
Roam Kitchen
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable.
Rush Homewares
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances. Made to be handed down rather than replaced.
The Beeswax Room
Candles & home fragrance
I roll and dip pure beeswax tapers scented only with essential oils. The seconds shelf is candles with a wonky top and a full burn time.
The Ember Harbour
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself.
The Ember Table
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest.
The Hemp Room
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances.
The Reworked Wardrobe
Clothing
I make children’s clothes from deadstock cotton in sizes 6 to 24 because that is the whole point. No new fabric is bought for anything on this rail.
The Wheel Kitchen
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself. Seconds go on the table at the end and always sell first.
Wild Drinks
Drinks
We brew kombucha in fifty-litre batches with nothing but tea, sugar, time and fruit. Refills into your own bottle, always cheaper than a new one.
Organised by
Moderate refunds. Full refund available until 7 days before the event.
