Meet the makers
Amber Studio
Candles & home fragrance
I make beeswax candles from our own hives with wax from twelve hives in the Chilterns.
Ash Company
Woodwork
I turn bowls on a pole lathe with hand tools, so you can hear me working at the market. Every piece names the tree it came from and where it stood.
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.
Bias Studio
Clothing
I upcycle wool coats and jackets with the original labels kept in as a record.
Bloom Field
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic. Seasonal only, which means no roses in February.
Bramble Larder
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time. Jars are returnable — bring one back and get 50p off.
Chalk Cheese
Cheese & charcuterie
We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is. We wrap in waxed paper — no plastic on the stall at all.
Cutting Room
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic. The whole stall is grown by me, which limits it and I like that.
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.
Flour Kitchen
Bakery & cakes
I make Persian pastries and cardamom buns and nothing leaves the oven more than fourteen hours before market.
Frond Plants
Plants & florals
I make dried flower arrangements from flowers grown and dried here, so they last for years.
Glaze Larder
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
Kitchen Kitchen
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste.
Leaf House
Stationery
I letterpress cards on an 1890s platen and everything is printed one colour at a time.
Relic Salvage
Vintage & upcycled
I sell carefully chosen vintage glass and china nothing bought to resell from a wholesaler, ever. Nothing here is new, which is the entire point.
Rush Homewares
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances.
Sourdough Table
Bakery & cakes
I make Polish babka and cinnamon buns in small batches, in my own kitchen, licensed and inspected.
Spoon Yard
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway.
Stoneware Studio
Ceramics
I make small-batch tableware with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot. No two pieces come out quite the same, which I like.
The Green Bench
Plants & florals
I propagate herbs and salad plants all grown outdoors within eight miles of the market. The whole stall is grown by me, which limits it and I like that.
The Hemp Room
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances.
The Ore Moon
Jewellery
I solder fine chains and stacking rings cast in my kitchen from recycled offcuts.
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 Wick Light
Candles & home fragrance
I make beeswax candles from our own hives with wax from twelve hives in the Chilterns.
The Windfall Row
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste. I keep a tasting spoon going all day, which is most of the fun.
