Meet the makers
Anvil Forge
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in brass and silver with a hammered finish that catches the light. Commissions are about a third of what I do.
Bench Workshop
Woodwork
I make chopping boards and kitchen tools using offcuts from a joinery in Brentford.
Bramble Field
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste. Metal lids and glass, nothing plastic anywhere in the packaging.
Ember Flame
Candles & home fragrance
I make beeswax candles from our own hives with wax from twelve hives in the Chilterns.
Facet Made
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in brass and silver with a hammered finish that catches the light.
Heron Field
Print & illustration
I draw and risograph small editions with hand-mixed inks and visible registration.
Lune Bloom
Jewellery
I solder fine chains and stacking rings cast in my kitchen from recycled offcuts.
Pasture & Co
Cheese & charcuterie
We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is. Tasting is compulsory, buying is not.
Quiet Field
Candles & home fragrance
I blend natural fragrance oils into soy wax free of paraffin, palm and phthalates.
Stitch Bird
Textiles & accessories
I block-print cloth by hand with natural dyes I grow or forage. Repairs are free, forever. Send it back and I will fix it.
The Brass Bloom
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in brass and silver with a hammered finish that catches the light.
The Roam Pan
Streetfood
We cook Georgian khachapuri fresh on the griddle with cheese from a dairy eleven miles from the market. Our meat is British free-range organic and we are happy to be asked about it.
The Thames Harbour
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself.
Weft Company
Textiles & accessories
I weave scarves on a floor loom in British wool from a mill in Yorkshire. Repairs are free, forever. Send it back and I will fix it.
Wild Store
Preserves & pantry
I ferment hot sauces and kimchi with no pectin, no preservatives and nothing you cannot pronounce.
Workshops
Sourdough starter from scratch
with Quiet Field · Adults and over-12s · 40 min
Start a culture in a jar, learn how to feed it so it doesn't die by Wednesday, and take it home with a fortnight's instructions. We'll also talk about what to do when it smells like acetone, because it will.

Willow star weaving
with Wild Store · Adults and over-14s with an adult · 60 min
Weave a five-point willow star for the door using withies cut from a Thames-side bed in January. Fiddly for the first ten minutes and then suddenly easy — everyone finishes one.
