I am very excited to say that I have collaborated with Luci Noel who owns a fabulous shop in Hampstead called Fodder. To mark Fodder’s second anniversary in Hampstead, we decided to commission a collection and we gave 11 Fodder makers a brief of just one word: Hope. What they made of it was entirely their own. The result was The Hope Collection which is now online - a very limited collection, each piece made specifically for this exhibition. If you visit the Fodder website, you can read about the artist’s idea behind each piece. 20% of every sale from the collection throughout September 2026 will be donated to Hope Unlimited Charitable Trust.
