Meet your makers!


We now have 21+ local artisans who make, design and craft their wares. And they really are local - our sock maker and mosaic artist live in the road next to the centre; the Wasteladystudio duo live opposite. 

Others we had to find.  We hiked up the hill to Stroud Market where we met one of our potters, a knitter and a maker of vegan skin care products.  We trekked through ancient woods to find our honey maker in Muswell Hill, picking up a quilter on the way! Many of our makers do wonderful things in the community, providing cakes for a fundraiser at Mind or helping Hornsey School pupils create a sustainable garden.  Other makers came to us; talented and experimental, they wanted to share their work in this exciting new venture.

I hope you will come too and support our community of amazing makers.

A full list of stalls with appropriate links is given below.

Ceramics from Fiona and Nigel, glassware from Hilary and mosaics from Rachel
Cushions, bags and quilts from Anita, Helene and Zuz
Jams, chutney from Dick and honey from Manola

This is a not for profit event to support our local community of makers.  There will also be a festive cafe and a lantern making activity for all ages. A donation will be made to Haringey Winter Night Shelter.
