This Sunday 14th December we’ll be open as part of Hackney Makers Monthly. If you haven’t been down yet, it’s a great opportunity to meet some of Hackney’s finest creative-makers and a chance to buy directly from them. And of course to simply have a bit of a snoop round…..
It’s the last one of 2014, so I’m sure festive fun will be had!
Simply add xm10 at checkout and any online order you place will be discounted by 10%. Valid until Sunday 23rd November.
Happy November one and all!
It’s that time of year again folks! When Clarence Mews opens its door for the last weekend in November – workshops and studios to nose around, makers to meet and products to buy!
And it’s a particularly special one this year as Cressida Bell (our neighbour, and one of the founders of this annual event) is celebrating her 30th anniversary open studios!
You can read more about her impressive career here
On until the 17th November 2014, the Red Cross has opened a pop-up in the heart of Covent Garden – nestled among the donated stock from fashion and high street brands is one of our London Plane Serving Boards. Please see their site for more info.
Congratulations to Anne M. and Cecilia T!

The Autumnal Archiving continues, folks – below is a collection of patterns that have emerged over the last couple of years. Hope you enjoy!
Does anyone else feel a little nostalgic at this time of year? The falling of leaves and watery light, time to don scarves and have old friends over for hearty meals…..a beautiful time of year!
Well, we’ve been feeling that way of late, and have felt compelled to put up some images from the archives – we hope you enjoy them……
The poster below details dates for the next 3 Hackney Makers Monthly.
This coming Sunday the 19th October, the yard is back in business with makers to meet, studios to peruse and lovely pieces to buy and commission!
It’s the third event so far, so come on down and see what it’s all about – and support Hackney’s emerging designer market!
This Sunday the 10th August sees the first Makers Monthly event, on Clarence Mews E5.
We’re opening up our yard in Hackney Central – we’ll be open to the public for shopping, coffee, music and food!
Held every month from now on, you’ll be able to have a look around the collection of bustling workshops and creative spaces that sit together at 18-20 Clarence Mews – there are several small creative brands based here, ranging from wooden homewares to fashion and furniture, from leatherwork to picture framing.
Just a five minute walk from Hackney Central and ten minutes from Chatsworth Road, come down and see what’s happening at one of the creative centres of Hackney’s designer/maker industry.
The gates will be open from 11-6, and we hope to see you there!
See where it is here.
The doors are open, we’re proud to announce we now have a showroom!
Our old workshop has been transformed into a place where people can pop down for a cup of tea, a place to buy directly from us and also a place for us to escape the dust and noise of the main workshop!
Alongside our regular range of boards and products, there will be one-offs and bespoke pieces, as well as products made by other local craftsmen and women including a leather worker and ceramicist.
We’ll also be on hand to discuss any bespoke projects – whether boards, spoons or hanging racks for a cafe or restaurant, or a more personal gift – just come along with your ideas and we’ll see what we can come up with.
Our “by appointment only” showroom is open whenever we’re around the workshop/yard; generally 9 till 5 Monday to Friday – the best thing to do is drop us line if you’d like to come down and give us an excuse to put the kettle on!
