A Makers’ Sale of Work – Thursday 28th November ’24
After last year’s rip-roaring success, we are going again on the ‘Makers’ Sale of Work’. There will be a fabulous array of makers on show, each laden with beautiful things to sell.
We will be welcoming our marvellous makers at The Grange Winery on Thursday 28th November between 9am-3pm.
Entry is free and we will be taking donations for Allegra’s Ambition on the door. Allegra’s Ambition aims to enable, engage and empower young, disadvantaged people to fulfil their potential through participation in sport and outdoor activities.
You can expect hand-thrown ceramics, homeware, textiles, jewellery, art, books, bags, flowers, oils, baskets and, of course, wine! We will be selling The Grange wine and gifts from the Land Rover bar and you may just have a chance to taste The Grange's new still wines before anyone else- The CHARDONNAY 2023 and The PINOT NOIR 2022.
Becka Cooper is hard at work dreaming up some delicious food too.
Our Makers:

Exquisitely woven textiles in Australian Merino lambswool, Sarah produces subtly coloured scarves, shawls, blankets, cushions and other homewares designed on a 16 shaft Louet Megado dobby loom in her Surrey workshop, for production (mostly in limited editions of up to 12 of each colour) on a power loom in a Yorkshire mill.

Izzy is a London-based potter working predominantly in stoneware on the wheel. Passionate about craftsmanship, each piece is designed with a focus on enhancing daily life and a belief that authenticity to material is integral to good design. All manner of stunning, candlesticks, bowls, vases, mugs and sets derived from classic forms with elegant handmade glazes.

Francheska Pattisson
Francheska creates sublime ceramic artworks. She works mostly in white earthenware, both on the electric wheel and by hand-building. She states that surface is as important as form; the clay becomes the canvas. She applies colour in the form of slips and underglazes in multiple layers, combined with wax resist and scraffito.

In her Sussex studio, Laura designs blockprinted linens, cottons and oilcloths - a little bit Bloomsbury but also very contemporary - in wonderful natural colours.

Victoria’s work is intuitive, holistic and smells utterly delicious. Exploring the ancient form of scent making led her to create four signature blends and a wide range of products including candles, bath soaks, soaps and natural perfume elixirs. Body balms, oils … and more.

Camilla Dinesen Jewellery
Danish jeweller Camilla Dinesen was a part of the creative crowd that birthed the movement of Young British Artists in the nineties. Today she is working out of her studio in the countryside near Winchester with clients who love her quirky somewhat schizophrenic (her own words) style that somehow combines architectural with organic in silver, gold and white gold.
@camilladinesenjewellery
Having worked in the textile design industry for over 20 years Liz McKenzie decided to explore other creative avenues, drawing on that background to develop a ceramic style that echoes her love for colour and texture in a wide variety of forms with wonderfully diverse outcomes.

Eland has the largest list of classic travel books in the world. They currently sell 175 titles and are beginning to feel confident that wherever you travel, or are passionately interested in, there will be an Eland title to expand your horizon. Barnaby will not be able to bring the full list … but a very good selection.

Rebecca Wordsworth works solely with porcelain, in all it’s unpredictable glory. She immortalises seasonal hedgerow flowers by hand-pressing them directly onto the clay and sparingly applies gold lustre to elevate pieces that are delicate but eye-catching. Every piece she makes is beautiful and unique.
@rebeccawordsworthporcelain
Inspired by fellow artists and a love of textiles, Michele decided to meticulously source the exact colour and yarn she wanted to hand knit the perfect jumper. And has now added cardigans, tank tops, hats and fingerless gloves. Working from her cottage studio, she uses a mix of natural mohair and lambswool in wonderful earthy colours.
