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.
