Introducing the new first maker from our 2026 open call... Heidi Inez Illustrates!

Heidi Inez Illustrates combines her love of ceramics and fashion to create vibrant, contemporary homeware pieces. Each piece is one of a kind, hand-drawn and painted directly onto green and bisqueware.

"I have always loved portraiture and capturing people that strike me on my travels, often head to toe in vintage, vibrant colours and adorned in accessories, those with a disregard of convention. Often I try to capture a sense of whimsy, pensiveness or sass in my work, exploring the multi-faceted and complex nature of female expression."

Have you seen our new window display yet? 👀

The shop window has been transformed by talented designer and alumni Poppy Kanu ( ) 🎨
⁠
Poppy’s display is a celebration of the not just a shop creative community and the gratitude we feel for people in our every day life.

Poppy invited makers, staff and customers to write a short message to thank someone who has helped to make them feel connected, supported and valued. All participants received a hand-printed card for them to write their message and Poppy hopes that by doing this, a ripple effect will be created, shared and celebrated with the wider community that visit the shop.
⁠
Come and see for yourself in our High Holborn shop, open Tuesday to Thursday from 11am - 3pm and check out Poppy’s amazing work here !
