Turning Earth is a proud member of East End Trades Guild - advocating for the interests of independent businesses in London. An extremely effective campaigning organisation and one every independent business should join. Collectively, small business has more economic impact than the corporate sector and yet we’re so busy getting on with things our interests easily get toppled. Collectivisation is the solution. We are proud to be part of a movement recognised by Big Issue magazine for its effectiveness.

What a beautiful weekend it was!
Have a look at our album to be reminded. Until the next time!
Thanks Artur Rummel for the images.

Photos from our Winter Market and the 11 Argall Avenue Open Studios

Some highlights from yesterday's market. Continuing today for the last event of the season from 12 until 6pm in Argall Avenue, near Lea Bridge Station.
Join us from ceramics from old favourites alongside new Turning Earth artists, music from members of The Turbans as well as Davey Green's new band Beagle 3. We also have mulled wine and mince pies to keep everyone in the festive spirit.
Downstairs there are open studios from neighbouring Uncommon Projects Ltd, think FOUND and ...@a.white workshop - have a look around and see what you can commission bespoke from interesting East London designers.
Food is from Lighthaus, the on-site cafe, as well as from Pavilion Bakery, opening the doors today selling Sri Lankan dhal, bread and pastries - with all money donated going to our nominated charity Hackney Migrant Centre.

We're often asked when we're coming to North West London. Answer is that we're working on it...
For now, you can see 13 of our makers at this event in Finchley coming up tomorrow. What better thing to do for #smallbusinesssaturday?
Hold tight for the next Turning Earth Winter Market next weekend 8/9 December at our Lea Bridge branch

Some highlights from the Hoxton Winter Market

"Advice for young city dwellers.
In this period of the end of the world, how do we sow the seeds of a new one?
First: every young person should recognise that working with their hands - and their hearts and their minds interconnected - is the highest evolution of our species.
... Working with our hands is not a degradation. It’s our real humanity.
Start a garden. Create a playground in the way you grow food. Save seeds.
Cook. It was treated as a backwards activity that your mother cooked, and was treated as not work, but she is the reason you are sustained. Start cooking classes. Get grandmothers to teach you how to cook.
Create communities.
We are not atomized producers and consumers, we are part of the earth family. We are part of a human family."
Vandana Shiva
