kp.paints

I’m KP the face behind KP Paints, a feminist artist specialising predominantly in abstract nude work. I started my small business during lockdown last year and started painting friends for fun. Since then I have launched 3 posters, 3 postcard designs, 2 prints, and sent commissions all the way to America and Australia! 🦋 I have been overwhelmed by the support for my art and endeavour to always support charitable initiatives with my platform and raise awareness for causes I care about.

These will also be in the silent auction! 💸

Calum Gillespie

I’m an artist based in Bristol mainly focus on portraiture and life drawing. I am working towards being a full time concept artist for film and games after finishing my PhD here in Bristol.

Pink Moon

Pink Moon is a one-woman business run by me, Alice. From my studio in Bristol, I hand mix all the bright, vibrant colours that are so integral to Pink Moon earrings, and often mould shapes by hand too, meaning every single pair is totally unique and has its own unique pattern, markings and colour combinations – we’re talking truly one of a kind pieces of jewellery. All of my designs are made to make you feel joyful and confident from the moment you put them on – I hope you love wearing them!

All earrings come carefully packaged in a lovely gift box and cute, colourful packaging, which stands up to the test of the Royal Mail! Every order comes complete with a handwritten note; if you’re ordering earrings to send as a gift, you can write a note for the lucky recipient when you checkout on Etsy, which I will hand write and pop in the box with the earrings.

Alice is also donating a pair of earrings for the silent auction, so keep your eyes peeled for those!

Connection, community and self-love are all recurring themes within Yoli’s work.

Steph Garratt

My artwork has always focused on colour and the way different colours interact and make us feel something through their contrasts. As part of my UG degree I studied the German Expressionists, Artists like Kandinsky and Kirchner; painters who used colour to express certain things about their perceptions of the world. These ideas resonated very deeply with me and I take great care over the colours I choose when making an image.

In my current work I wanted to create a synthesis between the strange and wonderful images of the medieval world, scenes imbued with a rich spiritual context, and a very modern approach to colour. I believe that by reimagining images in the way that I do, I can contribute to the ongoing conversation of Art History. All art is a reflection, a copy or a reinvention of something that came before it. We can never come up with completely unique ideas, because our perceptions of the world are constructed by our memories of everything that we have seen, experienced and lived. I wanted to embrace this very human trait of taking inspiration from the things we believe to be beautiful and important, but make sure that I could express my particular world view through each and every image. In this, I feel connected to all the creatives that have come before me, allowing me to fit myself into the great narrative of art.

I have always loved the idea of people owning my artworks, hanging them on walls and decorating their homes, but to be able to see people wearing my designs and feeling beautiful in them, brings me a whole new kind of joy!

Celyn Llinos

I'm Celyn and i'm a Welsh Illustrator based in Bristol, UK.

Bitsifind

Hello I am Hollie, the creator behind Bitsifind! I love to create portraits surrounding the subjects of feminism, body love, the relationship with ourselves and mental health. Self love and acceptance has been a huge part of my journey through life and Bitsifind has really changed the way I view myself and react to the world around me, I no longer feel the kind of restrictions we tell ourselves growing up. I am free to be whoever I want to be. I hope Bitsifind can do that for you too! I love sensitivity and empathy and self love and I hope all reflect in my floopers/gals. I also love ceramics, flower arranging and painting huge women with large bodies and tiny heads!

Hystorical_

I’m Emily, I’m 24 and I created Hystorical to retell Classical and other mythologies with a feminist twist, making them more accessible and intersectional.

Through my art, I attempt to reclaim the female form the male gaze, particularly through reinterpretations of Greek sculpture. I’ve also used stories from Greek mythology to raise awareness about forms of domestic abuse.

All of my art is available to purchase, either check out my Etsy or drop me a message. Commissions available too! I’ll be donating 20% of my sales in the ExhiBOOBtion to CoppaFeel! 😍

Amy Copeland

I am Amy, a self taught artist. Through my artwork I want to promote self love and body positivity. It took me a long time (til my late 20's) to fall in love with my body, especially my saggy boobs. Remember the pencil test? Well I can fit a whole pencil case under there. Now I want everyone to love theirs. Lumps, bumps, rolls, scars, sags & body hair. All bodies are beautiful. I am currently working on a breast cancer awareness and body positivity book to raise money for breast cancer.

Beeillustrates

I am Bee ! And I am an illustrator based in Edinburgh - I’m in my 4th and final year at @edinburghuniversity studying illustration at ECA. I’ve been messing around with Fine Art and illustration for the past 6 years or so and my page originally started as some hardcore procrastination from uni work ... in fact I procrastinated so hard it’s accidentally become my almost full time job which I LOVE!

I use my art pretty much as a diary/therapy so everything I post on here feels very personal.

You may not know about some of the cool arty things I have done - but they include working with people like @staedtler, @coppafeelpeople, @rethinkmentalillness, @skytv and @wbtclondon to name a few !! I also recently found out I have been nominated as a top 15 finalist for @myunidays student woman of the year award which is pretty wild ! During pride month one of my posts ended up getting shared by Ariana Grande, Jameela Jamil and a few others! This year has been so hard for everyone for SO many reasons but I am finally getting to a place where I feel like all my hard work is beginning to make a difference! ✨

As you can probably tell I’m big on feminism, politics, destigmatising taboo topics, exploring my sexuality and discussing mental health. I hope u enjoy my art and that it helps u feel more at home in yourself and inspired to use ur voice ! 🌸

Ellie Jones

"I’m Emily, tea drinker cake eater and pom-pom maker! 🧶

I’ve been a bit obsessed with all things boobs since the end of 2019 when I got diagnosed with breast cancer (have since kicked it in the butt!). I started making boob poms to raise awareness and spread some joy. And now have wreaths, garlands, cats and all sorts of woollen wonders in my shop!

Everything can be made in custom colours, so the poms can fit any colour scheme. I’m a big believer in every home needing some pom-pom joy in it!"

Rebecca Wise Studio

"I am Rebecca (she/they) and I make small batch, slow made, one off pieces of pottery and art. I rekindled my love of making pottery as another form to express my creativity and
as a therapeutic resource for me. I remembered that I really enjoyed it and started sharing my art with others. I find inspiration for my ceramics and art from nature, mid century design and body acceptance. I want people to look at my body acceptance ceramics and see themselves as a piece of beautiful art, that's why I paint all body shapes, especially focusing on fat bodies, body neutrality and self love so that we can embrace and accept ourselves because we are good enough just as we are.

Each ceramic shop update including the small batch of ceramics I have made for this online makers market are handmade, hand painted and glazed. Each piece is completely different
to the next one and made with lots of care. I am especially excited to share with you my ceramics at the market as I have designed a new handmade ceramic mug shape using the pinch pot technique. These gorgeous mugs will be available exclusively first at the makers market, I've even made matching saucers too!"

For the Love of Tits

ForTheLoveOfTits is the child of the artist Daphne Bampanioti. Around 2018 Daphne decided to take a short break from her oil painting and started experimenting and making with clay. She immediately fell in love with the material and decided to focus on making a small series of sculptures. Daphne's previous work has been inspired by the glory and beauty of the female body and so her clay took the form of ceramic breast sculptures.

Daphne has been making breast and mastectomy sculptures ever since, capturing the beauty of all those womxn who inspire her every day. Seh names her breast sculptures after the womxn she has met. Lately, her making has expanded to include mugs, vases, incense holders and pots.

Through ForTheLoveOfTits Daphne marries her love of making and her love of painting and aims to encourage women to celebrate their beauty and uniqueness.

Scents of Humour

Scents of Humour is the brainchild of Aaron & Jack. Friends since school, we've always joked about making products together. Aaron, a product and packaging designer, has always been good at making things look great. And Jack, an aerospace engineer, has got the experience to make things work well.

Hands were recently forced when Jack was let go from his day job due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Having just become a father to little baby Henry, Jack and Aaron hatched a plan to design and make candles in Aaron's Kitchen.

Jack has been busy (inbetween changing nappies and night feeds) experimenting with wax and fragrance formulas and Aaron has been occupied with the branding and packaging design. Not to mention we've both been hard at work writing the content for our candles to make you smile. A few writing sessions at the pub later and Scents of Humour was born!

Issue from Books That Matter

Books That Matter is the UK’s leading book subscription service, bringing female-led fiction and empowerment to thousands of women across the world.

Issie is going to be joining us to give some book recs with a booby feminist vibe 💕💕 she’s the content creator for BTM and an English Lit student at the Univeristy of Bristol! She also has her own book blog: What Issie Reads

Books That Matter was started by founder and CEO Molly whilst she was in her second year of university. Empowered, inspired and transported by the texts she was reading on her literature course, Molly’s reflection on her experience, that had opened her up to so many female authors, turned to frustration. As a working class student, she knew all too well the barriers to entry that stood in the way of higher education, and felt it was completely unacceptable that a huge proportion of women weren’t being afforded the cultural education of the women that came before her that she so deserved. So, in hope that she could be the one to bring this to them in a unique way, Molly founded Books That Matter.
