Moon and Magic is the creative brainchild of Luna Staple and Genie Goldsack-Rowland. We began many years ago creating kitsch designs from recycled materials and exploring our ideas through tote bags, aprons and the odd costume. Over the years we adopted Taz Kingston and developed a firm design ethos, focusing on sustainability with underlying themes of myth and fantasy. 

Since discovering Steampunk in 2010 Moon and Magic has become one of the few creators of Steampunk in Bristol. A revelation which enhanced our passion for up-cycling and posted us firmly in the things that never were. Everything is made and inspired by the abandoned treasures of our throw-away culture.

The majority of my designs are handmade from fabric, including house décor, toys, hanging mobiles and accessories. I like to experiment with current popular household items such as my twist on the fabric doorstop; in sumo form! And a most unexpected bunting design; washing line bunting! Also due for launch in March are my art prints involving quirky characters and confused zombies!

Every art piece is created with passion and good quality materials and as it is all handmade, each item is unique!  Expect many a strange and wonderful item!"

The Altered Bookshop is all about creating beautiful new objects out of old or unloved books. Often playing with the original theme of the book, Sophie makes one-of-a-kind treasures, such as secret boxes, bracelets, mirrors and magnets. She also has a selection of weird and wonderful greetings cards made using illustrations from vintage books. Commissions are always welcome. Email:[email protected]

Holly grew up sometimes in Devon and sometimes on a boat being home schooled, nose firmly in a book while her father merrily sailed the family part way around the world!

On returning to the UK, she fell in love with textile art and all hobbies making.

After a brief spell in the commercial and corporate world she returned to full time making and started creating quirky little pictures as gifts for friends and family.

This hobby soon became the busy and chirpy business it is today. Holly, now based in Portishead, specializes in using free style machine embroidery and appliqué to create her contemporary and kooky pieces – gifts of pictures, bags, cushions, aprons, cards and bunting. Each piece is unique and made on a commission basis, is designed, made and framed by Holly…though her son has recently taken a paid role in the business, and is Post Office Boy….luckily he’s just 10 so the fee is mainly chocolate brownies....
