Meet the makers
Ash Studio
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot.
Auld Est. 2019
Street food
I run a wood-fired pizza van from a converted horsebox with a proper oven in it. I can serve 120 an hour if the queue’s moving.
Auld Feast
Street food
I run a Polish street food kitchen — pierogi and bigos using Scotch beef and a griddle that never gets cold.
Bothy Bakehouse
Bakery & cakes
I bake Scottish oven scones, empire biscuits and tablet-topped brownies in small batches from a converted garage kitchen. I take pre-orders through Facebook and hand them over at the stall.
Bothy Workshop
Woodwork
I carve spoons and kitchen tools by hand over about six hours each, mostly by knife.
Braeside Candle Co
Candles & home fragrance
I make wax melts and reed diffusers cut and polished in the workshop.
Braeside Scotland
Cheese & dairy
I make cultured butter and crowdie churned twice a week and sold within days. I can post a cheese board anywhere in the UK.
Press Illustration
Art & prints
I cut and print lino by hand in two or three colours, printed in my kitchen.
Strath Growers
Fruit & veg
I grow salad, herbs and heritage tomatoes on a market garden in the Clyde Valley. I compost every scrap that doesn’t sell.
Whin Bakehouse
Bakery & cakes
I make traybakes and celebration cakes fresh the morning of the market, never the night before. Everything sells out by lunchtime, which I take as a good sign.
Whin Pottery
Ceramics
I throw porcelain and carve it by hand glazed in oatmeal, sea green and off-white. Mugs, jugs and bowls made to be used every day.
Whin Scotland
Knitwear & textiles
I weave scarves and throws on a floor loom in Scottish lambswool from a mill in the Borders.
