Eve is a potter based in Sheffield’s Persistence Works studios. She seeks to make pots for the home that have a generous and friendly presence, and feel good to hold, eat from, and bring joy with use. It’s important that domestic context and everyday rituals bring purpose to her pots and give them a sense of completion. She enjoys soft, full forms that centre a feeling of comfort, and strives for a quiet simplicity so that her pots bring out the beauty in the food they serve. Eve’s practice focusses on raw-glazed slipware, a technique with deep-rooted heritage in English culture. The use of one or two slips and two simple glazes provide a framework to really bring form into focus. Despite its seeming simplicity, it’s a process that requires nuance, experience and persistence to harness well, and it’s these qualities that energise Eve to continue exploring.

We are bringing along our bean-to-bar craft chocolate bars, retail pouches of hot chocolates, chocolate scented candle and gift sets. Bean-to-Bar Craft Chocolate is a relatively new concept to most. It’s the process of actually importing cocoa beans and making chocolate from scratch. Here at Bullion, we are one of only a handful of UK companies to craft chocolate this way.
Taking a hands-on approach, we set out to discover and unlock the ‘hidden gold’ in cacao: the distinct flavour nuances – terroir - that beans from carefully selected farms can produce. As a result, the single origin batches that we craft are strictly limited in number and represent a never-to-be-repeated opportunity to sample the unique notes and aromas produced by cacao from a particular time and place.
Stay tuned for more!
We can’t wait to see you!
