Meet the makers
Amber Studio
Candles & home fragrance
I make beeswax candles from our own hives with wax from twelve hives in the Chilterns.
Bias Studio
Clothing
I upcycle wool coats and jackets with the original labels kept in as a record. Everything goes home in a paper bag or your own.
Brass Workshop
Jewellery
I cast small sculptural rings shaped around the wearer rather than a trend. Boxes are card, not plastic — the little bags are cotton.
Copper Pantry
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time.
Cullet House
Glass
I fuse and slump kiln-formed glass from bottles collected at these very markets. Bring me your broken pieces and I will work them in.
Cutting Room
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic.
Ember Cart
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest.
Ember Spoon
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before. We serve until it runs out, which on a good Sunday is by two.
Ferment Cordial
Drinks
We make botanical cordials from foraged flowers picked within a few miles of where we sell it.
Folio Studio
Print & illustration
I make screen prints in two or three colours of the river, the deer park and the birds on them. Cards and prints — the cards keep the lights on.
Glaze Larder
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
Honey Bakes
Bakery & cakes
I make Polish babka and cinnamon buns in small batches, in my own kitchen, licensed and inspected. Everything comes in paper — no film, no plastic windows.
Knot Studio
Woodwork
I make small furniture from storm-fallen timber finished with linseed oil and beeswax only.
Relic Salvage
Vintage & upcycled
I sell carefully chosen vintage glass and china nothing bought to resell from a wholesaler, ever.
Slip Pottery
Ceramics
I make small-batch tableware with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot. Everything is fired twice in a shared kiln in Brentford.
Slip Studio
Ceramics
I throw and hand-carve porcelain in muted glazes tested over two years.
Smoke Streetfood
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable. Vegan by default, with dairy as the option rather than the other way round.
Sourdough Table
Bakery & cakes
I make Polish babka and cinnamon buns in small batches, in my own kitchen, licensed and inspected. The seconds bag at the end of the day is the best value on the stall.
Spoon Yard
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway. No varnish, no lacquer, nothing you would not eat off.
The Beeswax Room
Candles & home fragrance
I roll and dip pure beeswax tapers scented only with essential oils.
The Green Bench
Plants & florals
I propagate herbs and salad plants all grown outdoors within eight miles of the market.
The Hemp Room
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances. Compostable at the end of its life, which will be a long way off.
The Reworked Wardrobe
Clothing
I make children’s clothes from deadstock cotton in sizes 6 to 24 because that is the whole point.
Wander Pan
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment.
Wheel Table
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
