Joanna Barry
I'm part of a
tiny little collective that enjoys experimenting with all kinds of materials
(felt, slate, feathers, cotton, gems and lots more materials are what's
inspiring us right now) to create handmade treats that are bright, fun,
wearable & different to the run-of-the-mill, high-street stuff.
Our ever changing collaborations of jewellery, prints, bags, cards and
occasional homewares are affordable gifts for someone special or perhaps you
deserve a small indulgence yourself? Whatever the case, we look forward to
seeing you soon!

embroidered items made in Scotland.

Genna Design
Architecture is a major influence in my
work which inspires both geometric forms and organic sculptures.
Movement is also a prominent force where rare coloured stones can be moved
along the labyrinths of my work.
My pieces are tactile, playful and sculptural.
I enjoy working with precious metals such as silver and gold. However, I
also love to incorporate non-precious materials such as plastics; glass,
resins as well as stone settings.
I am constantly challenging the boundaries of jewellery design, producing
both one off/commission and commercial pieces.

Sunflower Arts
Sunflower arts create
colourful, fun designs inspired by children for children.
“I want a penguin parade on mine”....... “Bugs for me, please!” Our designs have
grown from their plentiful requests, presenting a vibrant and innocent source.
Each garment is printed by hand using traditional block printing with
water-soluble, non-toxic inks. The technique allows a painterly application of
colour, and flexibility in placement of the prints on the garment producing
surprising designs.
Our T-shirts are made from 100% unbleached organic cotton, under certified fair
trade conditions.
Everyone involved from farm to factory receives decent conditions and a fair
wage - we wouldn't want it any other way. Conventional cotton production is hard
on the environment, using large quantities of chemicals. Organic methods reduce
these impacts by rotating crops and controlling pests through ecological
balance.
Products include Children’s T-shirts, bags, (duvet sets, and curtains commisions
undertaken).
Dazed Dorothy
Leather Accessories
Anne Colville
