Meet the Makers who will be joining us for the first ever Country Makers' Market
Sharon Justice
Sharon is a designer/ jewellery working in prodomintly silver. She uses applied surface patterns, semi precious stones and gold accents in her unique pieces.
Moon Water Treasures
Inspired by Philippine’s rich culture and heritage, Moon Water Treasures was created.
We work with artisans in different regions in the Philippines, Vietnam and India. Their skills have been passed down from generations to generations. We feel their passion and artistry. However, because of fast fashion, their craftsmanship is slowly fading. We strongly believe that their craftsmanship is to be appreciated and celebrated that’s why we are here! The artisans as well as their crafts are treasures.
Heart & Soul Ceramic Co
My name is Kelly and I am a ceramicist and mixed media craftsperson working on the south coast of England. I take my inspiration from folklore and myth, blending forms and colours from nature with figures from traditional tales. My work focuses primarily on ceremony and celebration to create bespoke, high quality ceramics for your home and altar spaces.
Jane Neville
“My work uses colour as a focus with geometric, fabric painted, linear stitched pattern and folded designs”.
Wood & Daughters
We are Wood and Daughters, mother and daughter, sharing our enthusiasm and passion, bringing together life-long interests, making things we love with love. We are multidisciplinary artists, creative souls, living a colourful life by squeezing every drop of joy from each day. Everything we create is designed and made with lots of love and great care in our Hampshire studio. Bold, bright and colourful jewellery, cards and gifts are at the heart of our making. Perfect for those you love or as a treat for yourself. We look forward meeting you and sharing what we do.
Kathryn Green
Kathryn works with print and dye techniques to create layered and textured wearable art. Splashes of colour against a monochrome background, circles alongside squares, minute detail in an immense space. The variations found in the natural world have a deep influence on Kathryn’s designs – “the quiet creeks hidden along the rough shores of Cornwall, the lonely flowers in the vast pampas of Patagonia, the delicate textures carved into a craggy rock face”.
Salt & Clay
SALT & CLAY is a handmade small batch soap and skincare brand focussing on using only the most nutritious, nurturing ingredients to harness the goodness within.
In our Hampshire studio we create everyday skincare essentials that are not only luxurious and beautiful but natural, nourishing and kind to skin.
We use only plant-based ingredients, so every product is vegan friendly and cruelty free.
Hannah Horn
Hannah is a fine artist based in the South of England. Her work draws inspiration from the natural world, but often includes surreal and fantastical elements. Hannah utilises a combination of vibrant paint and highly detailed pen and ink line-work, combining to form elegant and beautiful images.
Daybreak
Daybreak uses recycled silver and copper to handmake personalised jewellery
