Emerging Potters – 26 We Are Makers
January – March 2022
We Are Makers builds on the couple’s recognition that independent makers often lack such opportunities to freely exhibit their work. The aim was to create a level playing field for makers of all disciplines and backgrounds from across the globe. Free of advertising, the publication is a curation of stories reflecting Kate and Jack’s mission to support the people behind handmade products. Each edition showcases a wide variety of makers and puts their work in front of consumers who truly value quality. Leafing through the pages is an education in the beauty of craftsmanship and what it means to own a unique piece made by hand. We Are Makers is a platform that both champions the maker and their product and celebrates the process and the passion that drives the work. In between the two editions released annually, the conversation continues online. Kate and Jack have created a place to share experiences, journeys and ambitions; a network where conversations and collaborations between crafts and trades can begin. We Are Makers is an opportunity to overcome the frustrations and loneliness of the independent craftsperson. By uniting makers, it channels that contagious joy of being surrounded by people who love what they do. All are welcome to join the community. If you’d like us to consider your work for inclusion in a future edition, please submit brief details and a selection of images via our submissions form (https://www.atelierardent.com)
