Fun-filled and food-focussed

Hello, I’m David and I’m pretty obsessed with food. While I love nothing more than to cook, I learnt this about myself a bit later in life via a career in the arts and decided to make art about food instead!

Bored of seeing the same old, factory manufactured food-themed novelty gifts, I produce carefully crafted, playful products that celebrate your kitchen and the craftsmanship of food producers in more permanent (& displayable) ways.

Think ceramic pasta fridge magnets made with clay the same way edible pasta is made with dough, or a series of prints produced from original oil paintings of farm-grown fruits and vegetables, or handcrafted drinks coasters and cabinet knobs to add more colour to your kitchen.

I’m proud to be stocked in over 15 independent gift shops, farm shops and food retailers across the UK and to have been featured in Christmas Gift Guides by The Times, Homes & Interiors Scotland, The Wealdon Times and Surrey Homes in 2025.

A colorful magazine page titled 'Gifts for Under £20' featuring various gift ideas such as a paper flower bouquet, a bar of soap, a candle, a wooden cheese board, a tin of toffee, a mug, a jacket, a puzzle, a pair of earrings, and more. The page includes handwritten-style doodles and the magazine's name 'Wealden Times' at the bottom.

Make It Personal

I love to work collaboratively with retailers. Many of my products are customisable to suit to your brand including choose your own colourways, bespoke finishes and white label options.

I can produce my Drinks Coasters, Espresso Coasters, Placemats and Furniture Knob Handles in colours and finishes of your choice. For example, retailers often send me images of specific shades and tones for me to colour match or if you are looking for a specific size or shape, just get in touch and I can provide a tailored quote.

As for my Food Portrait Prints, you can choose what ingredient to paint and I’ll get a set of prints printed! Customers often buy these to celebrate their favourite fruits and vegetables and display in their kitchens or they make great house warming gifts.

Working Sustainably

It is important to me as a maker to consider the environmental impact of my work. This is an ongoing process and I'm always looking for new ways to reduce the environmental impact of my work. You can read about what I have in place on my Sustainability page.

In short, I avoid plastic packaging as much as possible, using mostly paper and cardboard to pack your orders and sourcing biodegradable alternatives for any plastics I do use.

I have systems in place to reduce waste in the studio as much as possible, reclaiming leftover clay scraps and recycling any surplus cured Jesmonite to make other products with. I also offer a repair and refresh service for all my Jesmonite products (coasters, placemats and furniture knob handles) to help them last customers a very long time!
