Handmade, organic and sustainable — that’s the mantra for this quarterly show, with up to 60 makers of homewares, jewellery, ceramics, lighting, furniture, prints, fashion, beauty products, children’s clothing — and even coffee roasters.

“And we’re putting the social back into shopping,” say the organisers. “Meet the makers, chat and make new friends.”

Coming from Devon to take part are South African-born Mark McGilvray and Kaori Takahashi from Japan.

This married couple plane, chisel, turn, wax and lacquer exquisite homewares including spoons, right, platters, bowls and hanging planters. Prices from £22 for a spoon.

MASON+BLACK is bringing marble vases, bookends and small tables, while Rick Powell fashions exquisite brass and copper pens, plus small pieces of furniture.
