We are very excited to announce we have five brilliant new makers joining Muswell Hill Creatives:
Jeremy Ornstin - Ceramic Justice
After a 35 year career as a criminal lawyer, Muswell Hill based Jeremy was lucky enough to find a new discipline - ceramics - and has found it utterly absorbing. Learning a new skill, a creative process without being answerable to anyone for the first time in half a century, Jeremy sees as a great privilege.

Sue Copeland
Former menswear director at Paul Smith, Sue Copeland has been an international fashion designer for over 30 years. After a sudden stroke in 2010 which left Sue with Aphasia, an impairment of language, she focused on her rehabilitation. While recovering, she rediscovered her passion for sewing, leading to a handmade collection of cushions to raise money for the charity. Sue's current projects include handmade throws, baby quilts and wall hangings as well as handmade toys and gifts. Sue is based in Crouch End.

Jenny Freebury - Crouch End Candles
Jenny Freebury is a fashion designer who discovered candlemaking as a passion on a workshop she organised for her best friends on her hen weekend. Jenny has since developed Crouch End Candles - with beautifully simple and clean packaging with different waxes, wicks and fragrances being right at the heart of her brand.

Alumni
We're saying a fond farewell but never goodbye to Jo Angell, Jess Albert, Natasha of Rolling with the Posies, Adriana of Yaya Lala, Leonora of Luminous Muse Ceramics and Edit Juhasz Ceramics. We've loved having them as part of the collective. Things change in creative businesses and in people's lives. Jo has made the shift from print and design to painting, Leonora is studying a Masters Degree in ceramics, Edit has moved to South London! Nobody ever completely leaves the Muswell Hill Creatives community and are welcome back at any time.
You will find links to past makers on our Alumni page.
The main thing, always, is to keep supporting and buying directly from all these amazing makers.
