Rebecca Brattin
"My work preserves Cornish nature in clay through techniques such as pressing, painting, and free hand sgraffito - this allows the smaller, more delicate details of the Cornish landscape to be captured and appreciated. I offer something different in the world of ceramics and have learnt that my work appeals to a demographic who perhaps cannot get outside as much as they would like to for whatever reason, therefore being able to have the outdoors indoors. I love to be inclusive for all and have also experienced loved ones with poor eyesight who appreciate my work for its tactile nature through pressing, and other surface patterns using sgraffito where they can enjoy its organic wavy forms and flora & fauna surface texture. My pieces all use 24k gold lustre for its enhancing nature, and ability to work with the natural stoneware colours of the clay. Lustre has become a signature style of mine, too."
Blesys Sherp
Blesys Sherp are a small-batch fermented hot sauce producer based on the Rame Peninsula. Taking unusual and brilliant chilli varieties, they seek to celebrate the unique characteristics of different chillies (from their heats to flavours) by putting them in the spotlight in bottles of speciality hot sauce.
joy makes books
Joy Underhill enjoys reading books, walks on the moors and making cakes! Where she shines is making beautiful handmade notebooks and sketchbooks, in lovely patterns and amazing quality.
Purley nourishing
“My stall is a bright colourful, eclectic mix of products.. mostly handmade by me, a qualified nutritionist and gut health specialist. I love inspiring people to make and eat delicious healthy food, especially fermented food. I believe in teaching people to understand how living in harmony with our gut microbes can help to improve our physical and mental health. There is such power in learning our own skills of preserving and fermenting food.. for hundreds of years we have used this technique to reduce food waste and ensure we have access to healthy nutritious foods all year round. Just because we can buy expensive kimchi and sauerkraut in many shops now, doesn’t mean we need too.. let’s help to revive this incredible tradition, say no to overpriced shop bought ferments.. use up food that might otherwise go to waste. And fill your shelves with delicious, bubbling ferments to enjoy yourself and to give away.”

Meemu Jewellery
MeeMu Jewellery was created by Plymouth-based jeweller Ana Simões.

DEE MAKES
“My brand is all about feel-good, colourful statement pieces made from sustainable materials. I work exclusively with wood, brass and textiles to create beautiful, eco-conscious jewellery that stands out with purpose.
Every wooden piece is handcrafted in my home studio in Devon, carefully hand-painted, and finished with a protective varnish for lasting quality. I have a true passion for colour, and I love experimenting with bold, bright palettes paired with textured brass—creating jewellery that’s both playful and effortlessly elegant. “
Memori Prints
Vince (aka known as Memori Prints), is an innovative graphic designer who creates stunning limited edition screen printed posters and cards from his home studio in the seaside town of Plymouth. His unique designs are a combination of collage, vibrant colours, intriguing patterns, and bold images that perfectly marry a modern graphic art aesthetic with traditional screen printing techniques.
kosel candles
Kosel Candles was born from a love of calm, quiet moments — those rare pauses in the day when you can take a breath and simply be. Each candle is hand-poured using my own blend of coconut and soy wax, infused with carefully chosen essential oils to create gentle, grounding scents. More than just candles, they’re little rituals of peace — created to help you slow down, reconnect, and find beauty in stillness.
GlassGatesStudio - Lyndsey Gates
“My work explores the intersection of nature, geometry, and symbolism through stained glass and functional three-dimensional glass forms. Inspired by the beauty and importance of pollinating insects, plants, and natural patterns, I blend traditional stained-glass methods with modern techniques like screen printing and glass powder printing to create contemporary pieces.
Each work begins with a deep respect for nature, using repetition and symmetry to reflect balance and interconnection. Organic shapes are framed within geometric structures, evoking sacred geometry and nature’s quiet order.
My three-dimensional works often incorporate living plants, transforming glass vessels into homes for greenery. I craft all frames and stands from salvaged wood, giving discarded materials new purpose and narrative. These works serve as small windows into a world where science, spirit, and aesthetics meet—reminders of the quiet intelligence within the natural world. “
Sea Pink Studio
Sea Pink Studio is delighted to be appearing at the Native Makers Winter Market this season! Visit Sally's stall to discover a beautiful collection of handcrafted jewellery and festive baubles, all inspired by the colours and textures of the Cornish coast. Perfect for unique Christmas gifts or a little seasonal sparkle, each piece is lovingly made to bring a touch of seaside charm to your winter celebrations.
Charlotte Biba Bouchard Jewellery
“From my small home workshop, I design and make distinctive precious metal jewellery using traditional techniques and practices.
Described as bold, dramatic, intricate and delicate, my jewellery often has a strong sense of story which comes from the wide-ranging inspiration behind its design. Every piece is made by my hands, as a ‘one off design’ or part of a small edition production run.
As well as my four main collections, I also work to commission remodelling old jewellery and creating bespoke designs.
It’s my first time taking part with the Native Makers and I am really looking forward to connecting with new customers, clients, other small businesses and creators. “
