Archivist Gallery

Archivist is run by husband and wife duo William and Sarah, but over the last 20 years they have slowly welcomed some other brave souls into the mix. With guest appearances by their daughter Madeleine, and the very brave Katie to the newest additions at their Letterpress printers. They all share the conviction that gift giving is a joy, and that the world is a bit brighter with a mix of beautiful things and a touch of William’s wit.

Good & Well Supply Co.

Good & Well Supply Co. is committed to using ethically sourced materials as much as possible. We believe that the best way to do this is to source our materials from the USA: it gives us the ability to ensure good labor practices and to support our local farmers, craftsmen, and manufacturers. All of our candle materials come from the USA, including wax made from soy grown in America, balsa wicks made from balsa trees grown in America, and oils made in America. Most of our packaging is made here too, and we’re continuously looking to increase that percentage.

Matt Brown Makes

Originally from Cambridge, I graduated from Brighton College of Art & Design in ’92 with a BA(Hons) in Illustration. In my final year I specialised in three-dimensional illustration and animation, leading to a career in special effects, commercial model-making and even bespoke carpentry.I've been exhibiting my work for over 20 years and, throughout my career, have always championed the use of reclaimed and found materials - trawling though shed clearances, car boot sales, beaches and antique shops to find the perfect component for each sculpture.

Maison Cisson

Created by Catherine Kerboull, this authentic French delicatessen was the unlikely result of a love for French cuisine, knitting and home interiors. Much knitting was required and the whole lot had to be brought together with one goal in mind: to create the incredible illusion of real life saucissons! Next, a name was needed, then there’s the sheep logo too, plus coming up with funny, French-inspired labels – basically, create a whole universe and a collection of charcuterie to go with it. The result? Charcuterie and cheeses that are 100% made in France! Foodie delights that don’t stain, won’t dry out or make you fat, plus they’ll keep forever.

Askew Candles

Askews Candles are made by two brothers in the stables of the family home, located in Hurworth just outside of Darlington. The venture started in 2016 when George had the idea to transform his candle making hobby into something that could reach more people. With the help of his older brother, Askews Candles was born!

Behout

From my studio in Ghent I make interior objects and custom-made furniture. All with the same goal in mind: to deliver handmade, fair and sustainable products, products to "keep" I started Behout in 2017. At that time I was mainly active as a stage builder, building furniture and installations for artists. This required a lot of flexibility and creativity, and I experimented with my own designs. More and more I was also asked by family and friends to make something for them in wood. My hunger to really practice the craft grew, and I got more ideas to make my own line of interior objects. I started a furniture making course in order to be able to exercise my passion professionally. This line has since grown into a collection of lighting, vases, magazine holders and more. They are decorative, functional, or both.

Michele Wilson Puzzle

We are Michele Wilson puzzle, we hand cut beautiful wooden art puzzles for adults. We make them in France, respecting the environment. Experts in working the jigsaw, our craftsmen spin the wooden puzzle boards in all directions, to create, one by one, pieces of unique shapes. The craftsmen and women separate the colors and different elements of the artwork, to ensure maximum difficulty. The cut depends on the style of the artist and on how each artisan perceives his brushwork. The cut follows the depicted lines and subjects and it is the artisan who follows the colours and who creates their difficulty, not a machine. Each piece is different and there isn't always a interlocking 'fit' between the pieces. Our puzzles are unique and strategies to assemble each one vary.

Alpaca Threadz

From this Alpaca Threadz was born. Alpaca Threadz is a fair trade and ethical company seeking to support Andean Artisan communities who handcraft alpaca wool blankets, clothing and accessories in remote regions of Ecuador and Peru. We connect clients & retailers around the world interested in connecting with and creating social progress for these indiginous people.
