Press
We are thrilled that The Merchant's Table and our talented makers have been featured in a variety of press including Condé Nast Traveller, Country Living, The Financial Times 'How To Spend It', Modern Rustic, House & Garden, The Sunday Times Style Magazine and more.
Condé Nast Traveller
'On Church Street, carefully curated crafts are styled to perfection at The Merchant’s Table, which has one of Suffolk’s loveliest shopfronts.'
FINANCIAL TIMES WEEKEND
'Claire Halsey's fluted or ridged stoneware flower bowls have a calming matt white glaze and an insert to help keep stems in place.'
'Steven James Will is inspired by the salt marshes, forest and heaths that surround his home on the Suffolk coast; his porcelain and coralline crag bud vases use glazes created with marine deposits, such as mollusk debris, that are millions of years old.'
Sunday Times Style magazine 50 Best Independent Shops
'This picture-perfect store occupies a double fronted Georgian building and specialises in hand-crafted pieces for the home, including ceramics, furniture, textiles lighting and sculptural objects made by British artists. Along with workshops and supper clubs, the Merchant's Table also offers what is surely one of the country's chicest wedding lists.'
HOUSE & GARDEN 50 BEST INDEPENDENT SHOPS
'Everything at The Merchant's Table in Woodbridge, Suffolk, has a narrative to it and the thread that runs throughout is very much one of nature. Seeking beautiful things from British makers, founder Susanna Cook has curated a shop full of pieces that come from our surroundings.'
COUNTRY LIVING
Jo Hammond's Willow Flower Pendant and Willow Heart featured in Country Living's 'The Veg Patch Palette'.
HOW TO SPEND IT - FINANCIAL TIMES
'Ewing’s work in bronze was another discovery at a Galloper-Sands show long before she collaborated on bronzes for Loewe’s jewellery. Her life-sized studies of fruit and vegetables are totally beguiling and tactile, but her chunkier crustaceans are dream desk accessories.'
Modern Rustic
Polly Yates Stoneware Side Table, Hollie Ward's 'Bonnie' handwoven cushion, Alex Walshaw's Ridge Ash candlesticks and Steven James Will's Twig handled porcelain jugs all features in 'Objects of Desire'.
Remodelista
'On every thought-through holiday itinerary is a special shop, and this summer, The Merchant’s Table is on ours. This handsome, double-fronted, contemporary craft store can be found on Church Street in Woodbridge, a pretty market town in east Suffolk on the banks of the River Deben.'
