Meet the Makers
Check out some of the amazing makers that will be joining us for this years Make Merry. Keep checking back as we will be updating the directory each week with new makers.
Moon Water Treasures
We work with artisans in different regions in the Philippines 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!
Moon Water Treasures is more than just a shopping experience. Some of the proceeds go to great causes! Through your purchases, we support Filipino children and their families with their school needs.

Catherine Claasen Ceramics
CatherineClaasenCeramics is new! I have been developing my pottery skills and exploring which shapes, effects and style really appeal – my work explores contrasts in texture and form, using monochrome as a basis with strong pops of colour. I like mixing elements of handbuilding and strong graphic design with thrown stoneware.

Samantha English
Using precious and non precious metals Samantha seeks to capture the fragments, preciousness, decay and sensations of memory.
As she works on each piece she seeks to capture a fragment, a sensation or feeling of a memory and through the treatment of the metals, she explores and captures the fragility, decay and the preciousness of those memories.

Louise Pitt
I am a compulsive creator with a passion for recycling and reusing materials. I especially love to make mosaics using discarded ceramics combined with fired glass. I am also unable to resist fabric and wool, reworking found tapestries, belts and zips into unique bags and yarn into fun recycled crocheted Christmas baubles.
Kate Burbridge
An artist illustrator I work largely in pen and ink, and pencil. I am fascinated by texture and how best to render it in two dimensions. I like to draw everyday objects, capturing their form and weight, real but not real.
This year I have added a range of jewellery made from the vintage buttons I have inherited from my mother, grandmother and great aunts. I reuse these beautiful buttons, singly or in layers to create fun, eye catching costume jewellery, a little piece of history from my family to yours.
