Sarah Brown Glass
Having read her story about how cakes are more than just something to eat, it's an 'invitation to sit with family and friends, to show that you are thinking of them and taking time to pause and enjoy the moment' Though lockdown, Sarah had been creating cakes for people to place on their doorstep which sparked an idea to create these creations in glass! Alongside this fantastic story, her creations look so good that you could eat them! But that may be an expensive trip to the dentist.
Ros Arrowsmith Ceramics
Ros experienced life in Japan for a few years (which must have been incredible!), this influence has come through in her work, and we love it!
Barnabas Taylor
Particularly his cutlery collection (coffee scoops). Why have a boring coffee scoop when you could have one of these?! We love conversation starters, and this is one of them.
The Indian Block Printing Company
To travel for your passion and see first-hand the traditions surrounding block print proves her dedication and curiosity in the space.
Contour Map Collection
A previous feature of We Are Makers, Holly's artwork tells a story that is meaningful to the customer and is beautifully made in a considered way. We highly recommend you check out her work!

There is nothing more relaxing than being absorbed in making something. Our resident demonstrators will be running 2 hour workshops throughout the weekend.
You can learn to carve wood, weave yarn, weave willow and how to print using the heritage craft of letterpress.
