About the maker:

Sam Petherbridge is an artist and designer whose recent creative journey began using one very common material, paper. This medium initially influenced a body of collage during his BA in Fine Art at the University West of England, and more recently has developed within the practice of bookbinding, because it incorporates his two passions, design and craft. Sam runs a small business called Bōk Bindery and in the studio, is focused on paper-making, collage, and drawing. In 2017 Sam Petherbridge was an artist in residence at Campos de Guiterrez, in Colombia. In 2019 he also collaborated with poets and directed a show and program at the APT Gallery, in South East London

We live in the age of the Anthropocene; human activity is the dominant force affecting the climate and man-made and organic materials are becoming irreversibly intertwined. As natural resources dwindle, designers are exploring the potential of increasingly plentiful waste streams to become the raw materials of the future.

Wasted. When trash becomes treasure celebrates 30 optimistic and enterprising designers, makers and manufacturers who use waste as their primary resource, offering a rare glimpse into the embryonic world they inhabit. Accompanying these profiles, five in-depth and thematic essays will explore the societal, cultural and environmental implications of their work.

High quality, sustainable beeswax candles that make a difference in the world. These candles combine the true beauty of the natural world with thoughtful design.

For every Bzzwax candle lit, one pollinates an acre of flowers to provide fertile habitat for bees. In addition, these candles support beekeepers to continue their work, which is vital to our local ecosystems.

The scent of beeswax is a very pleasant, complex composite of both honeyed, sweet aspects (with floral facets) and of essences of a musky, intimate ambience reminiscent of sweet hay and cured tobacco.

Dimensions: 25 x 3.5cm and 15 x 3.5cm

Root to Bloom equips readers with the knowledge and tools to grow, eat and celebrate every edible part of the plant, root to bloom (just as the nose-to-tail movement has recast people’s understanding and appreciation of meat).

The book explores the lesser-used parts of plants that are often snubbed in favour of the produce we’ve come to expect. It includes comprehensive profiles of 35 edible plants (from coriander and onion to sweet potato), covering all the parts you can eat, including leaves, flowers and roots. It is full of expert advice on ideal growing conditions, the nutrition level of the parts and how to prepare and preserve them for the table. Inventive recipes are provided throughout (such as Japanese pickled sweet ginger, pickled nasturtium pods, and broccoli leaf coleslaw).

In addition, the book features six breakout sections on key related topics: medicinal; herbicides; skin care; weeds/foraging; the orchard; and preserving flowers.
