Lemon Pepper Studio

Lemon Pepper Studio is a place to discover the art of Hand Embroidery. Created by artist Pippa Haynes, the Studio is inspired by nature and all the wonders it has to offer. After working for a number of years in editorial and retail set design Pippa took up embroidery and from there developed an embroidery practice that celebrates the organic shapes, colours and textures of Nature, preserving 360 degree and 180 degree micro-habitats through the medium of thread. She now sells Jewellery, Kits, Artwork and Embroidery Tools that aim to inspire people to enjoy the magic of hand embroidery.

Pippaluk Crafts

Pip White was born and brought up in Salisbury. It has only been recently that her discovery of needle felting has allowed her to explore her talent in a very unique way. Her use of fibre forms an illusion of watercolour or pastels and allows her to create landscapes and coastal scenes mainly from the south west of England. The pictures are created by repeatedly stabbing wool, yak or silk fibres into a backing felt using a barbed felting needle, producing tactile and subtle impressions of natural landscapes.

Arts, Rush & Cane 

Erica of ARC Studio designs and makes "Through The Rainbow " – adorable needle felting kits here in Wiltshire. There are kits for making birds, animals, bees, toadstools and pumpkins, and fairytale creatures. Erica’s inspiration is the flora and fauna of the British countryside and the folklore surrounding them. She also creates merino wool tops rainbow-mix bags, and from local wools - a range of Natural Tones and Animal Pelt coloured batts.

Clare Davie Designs

With a background in both textile and garden design Clare is excited by the design possibilities for colour mixing and pattern creation for polymer clay jewellery inspired by nature and art. Living in Salisbury she has a wealth of inspiration on her doorstep, from the wonderful walks in nature to her own back garden. Clare’s love of the ocean and rivers has also provided a wealth of visual stimulus for her designs. Each pair of earrings is individually handmade and unique and is made start to finish in Clare’s small home studio with care and attention to detail.
