Vallari Harshwal

V H Studio is a design studio run by Vallari Harshwal, specialising in ceramics creating tableware, homeware and lights. The studio is situated in the scenic countryside of Hare Hatch near Henley on Thames.

As a designer and maker, handcrafting timeless, simple objects which stand the test of time brings me joy. My work is an essence of my Indian heritage juxtaposed with my life in England.

Susan Macleod

I create jewellery inspired by the beauty in our natural surroundings. From delicate petal structures to bold sea coloured opals. I like to work with precious metals through an intuitive and playful process to create unique and personal jewellery for its wearer. I have a fascination with vivid sea colours and wild botanicals, which I like to incorporate into my design process.

Ulli Kaiser

Underwater creatures, myths and legends as much as the materials themselves catch my imagination and find their way into my shapes and colours. Using a medley of beadcrochet and silversmithing, the gemstones, pearls and glassbeads create textures that invite to touch.

Ade Breton

Ade B is a French self-made contemporary artist based in Reading.

Using symbols, she paints a unique visual language to express my most ardent emotions and questions our society without any taboo.

Her paintings invite us to the travel in a world filled with allegories and bold colours where abstract shapes play with figurative elements. Our contradictions are a central theme to Ade.
