Meet the makers
Anvil Craft
Jewellery
I solder fine chains and stacking rings cast in my kitchen from recycled offcuts.
Beech Shed
Woodwork
I make chopping boards and kitchen tools using offcuts from a joinery in Brentford. No varnish, no lacquer, nothing you would not eat off.
Bobbin Company
Textiles & accessories
I block-print cloth by hand with natural dyes I grow or forage.
Brass Fine
Jewellery
I cast small sculptural rings shaped around the wearer rather than a trend.
Copper Pan
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment.
Facet Made
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in brass and silver with a hammered finish that catches the light.
Ferment Company
Drinks
We roast single-origin coffee in small drums on direct trade beans, with the price paid printed on every bag.
Meadow Company
Cheese & charcuterie
We cure British free-range pork with nothing but salt, time and British free-range organic meat. We wrap in waxed paper — no plastic on the stall at all.
Pasture & Co
Cheese & charcuterie
We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is.
Silver Workshop
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.
Slip Harbour
Ceramics
I throw and hand-carve porcelain in muted glazes tested over two years. Seconds go on the table at the end and always sell first.
Soy Studio
Candles & home fragrance
I roll and dip pure beeswax tapers scented only with essential oils.
The Basket Room
Homewares
I weave willow baskets from willow I grow and cut on a Thames-side bed.
The Hedgerow Kitchen
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste. Labels are printed on recycled stock and hand-written.
The Home Field
Homewares
I weave willow baskets from willow I grow and cut on a Thames-side bed. Repairs free for as long as I am still trading.
The Thames Harbour
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself.
Wild Studio
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.
Workshops
Kokedama moss balls
with Silver Workshop · Everyone, children with an adult · 40 min
Wrap a fern in a ball of soil and moss and bind it with jute — a houseplant with no pot at all. We'll show you how to water it, which is the bit everybody gets wrong.
Sat 19 Dec, 11:00 · Workshop table· 2 places left
Lino printing a gift tag
with Copper Pan · Adults and over-10s with an adult · 45 min
Cut a simple design into lino, roll it up and pull a dozen tags on recycled card. Everyone's first cut is too deep and everyone's second one is fine.
