Greg Genestine-Charlton
Greg enjoys using different mediums simultaneously, such as oil, acrylic, graphite, pastel and gouache on paper, he finds if layered in a considered way, he can produce unusual motifs and textures. Experimentation with colour is an integral part of his practice.
Greg developed a fascination with capturing movement in his figurative works which he then implemented into his abstract and scenic works. A sense of play is important in his work, and the possibilities of unforeseen results are what keep him excited about continuing to make new work.

Jenny Espírito Santo
I'm a product designer, the owner and one-woman-band behind mind the cork. About seven years ago, I became intrigued about the possibility of using cork in product design, which turned into an all-consuming hobby and, eventually, a business.
My work pays homage to the understated beauty of cork and combines playful minimalism with sustainable materials to create exciting and thoughtfully crafted objects for the home.

Catherine Shaw
I am a bespoke dress designer and maker, I specialise in alternative wedding dresses and dresses for special occasions. Welcome to my site, I hope it will give you a glimpse of the work I love to do. All the wedding dresses, evening dresses and cocktail frocks I make are designed and made in my London studio based in Crystal Palace. Whether it is a vintage style wedding dress, something more innovative for the thoroughly modern bride, or a fabulous cocktail frock for that special occasion, each dress is unique to each woman. And for the very special ‘other woman’ at the wedding… we also make beautiful mother of the bride dresses and mother of the groom dresses.
