Jessica Charge started I Have This Thing With Ceramics in 2018 as a personal Instagram account, purely for her own visual pleasure. Seven years later it has become one of the UK's most trusted ceramics resources. We collaborated with Jess on the Hope Collection and sat down to talk about community, the risks facing the industry, and what hope means right now.
Handmade Homewares from UK Makers for Design-Led Homes
Sourced direct from the studio. Formed for everyday.
Why I Started Fodder
In a previous life I spent years hanging artwork on walls. Paintings in galleries, prints at art fairs, made to be looked at.
But the handmade things we hold every day never got the same credit. The mug you reach for first. The plate that makes dinner feel like something. The vase for your favourite seasonal blooms.
So I made a shop for them. Work direct from independent UK makers, all of it made to be used, held, lived with and not saved for best.
Nothing throwaway, nothing made for landfill. Celebrating craftsmanship with honest, functional, design-led wares, and real investment in the makers behind every piece.
I'm Luci. This is Fodder.

The Studio Sessions with Scree Ceramics
Sammantha Cree arrived in London in late 2024 without a studio, without a clear path, and without any certainty that moving her practice here would work. Two years on, her work is on our shelves, fired in a gas kiln in East London with ash and rust and coastal tones carried quietly from the other side of the world. We sat down with her to talk about all of it.

The Studio Sessions with Nic Brittin
Nic Brittin came to block printing through grief, through her mother's sewing machine, through the need to make something real with her hands. What began as a private, meditative process became, almost accidentally, a business. Now, after a year of painstaking work translating that handmade character into small-batch digital production, she's our summer guest maker. We sat down with her to talk about all of it.
