Emma has been stocking with us for five years, and Brutes Ceramics has always had one of the most distinctive visual identities on our shelves. So when a new collection arrived that was figurative, playful and portraiture-led, we wanted to know what had happened. The answer is exactly what you'd hope.

Caroline Dickinson spent a decade designing prints for high street brands, watching collections roll over before anyone had time to love them. Eventually she decided to do something different. She now screen prints onto preloved menswear shirts in her South London studio, one by one, each one of a kind. We sat down with her to talk about slow making, imperfection, and the shirt that became the best networking hack ever.

Jessica Charge started I Have This Thing With Ceramics in 2018 as a personal Instagram account, purely for her own visual pleasure. Seven years later it has become one of the UK's most trusted ceramics resources. We collaborated with Jess on the Hope Collection and sat down to talk about community, the risks facing the industry, and what hope means right now.

Sammantha Cree arrived in London in late 2024 without a studio, without a clear path, and without any certainty that moving her practice here would work. Two years on, her work is on our shelves, fired in a gas kiln in East London with ash and rust and coastal tones carried quietly from the other side of the world. We sat down with her to talk about all of it.

Nic Brittin came to block printing through grief, through her mother's sewing machine, through the need to make something real with her hands. What began as a private, meditative process became, almost accidentally, a business. Now, after a year of painstaking work translating that handmade character into small-batch digital production, she's our summer guest maker. We sat down with her to talk about all of it.

Cara Guthrie has stocked with us for over six years. After two years away, a move to the Perthshire Highlands, a new baby, a new studio, a funded exhibition about motherhood and care work, and an ongoing project raising funds for Gaza, she's back. We sat down with her to talk about all of it.
