As a celebrity cake designer, Steven has made some incredible cakes for the likes of Sir Ian McKellan, Jade Thirlwall, and most recently was invited to the BAFTAs with a cake for Rebel Wilson.

🌟Polish born Janusz became the instant stand-outstar on 2022’s Great British Bake Off when he rightfully declared himself the ‘Star Caker in the Bake week” in episode one.

Small business spotlight on

💫𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬?

I first worked with fused glass when I took a 1 day workshop in order to teach it as at D&T project at school. I fell in love with it and used the school pottery kiln to fire my creations for the first couple of years. In 2017, with my daughter about to start school, I decided to finish teaching and develop my own practice, setting up my business- Hen on the Shore.

💫𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬/𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞?

Product & Services - I create handmade fused glass pieces inspired by the natural world. Flowers, trees and coastal images are the main themes of my work with seasonal pieces too. Most of my work is created to be sold in shops and at craft fairs but I also take orders for my regular ranges and commissions for more unusual pieces. I also create personalised items with wedding lanterns being one of the most popular featuring the bride and groom’s names, wedding date and flower colours.
My favourite things to make are my flower designs as they are all different.

💫𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟

I am a proud mum of two crazy kids.
My degree is actually in Textiles and I was an art & design technology teacher for 12 years before starting my business.
I designed a range of belts for Nicole Farhi while at university.
I spent 3 months working for a silk manufacturer in Italy where I developed designs for the likes of Chanel, Ferragamo and Hugo Boss.

B R A N D N E W for 2024!

Every time we roll out our super popular Autumnal Humble Country shopping marquee at the heart of we are lucky enough to work with a brilliant small flower expert who helps me to dress it beautifully & sell flowers. The list of those we’ve now worked with is something to be proud of 🙏and includes and .

I have loved getting to know and working with them all! I have learnt a lot from them and always love and fully appreciate their clever creative work.

In the true spirit of planning ahead with our events and introducing another new small local flower expert, I am thrilled to have recently met Agnes from based nearby in Forest Hill Oxfordshire.

As our creative plans take shape over the Summer we will keep you posted about exactly what Agnes will be selling on her stand but check her out now as her skills, services and of course flowers are available before you’ll get the chance to meet her and see her work in our marquee on 28-29 September this year.

Thank you dear Hayley for the memory from our Summer Fayre back in June 2021 as we all emerged from COVID lockdown. A heatwave as we set up our marquees ☀️followed by over a months worth of rain ☔️!!
Almost washed it all away before our very eyes after months & months of hard work! Hey ho - that’s outdoor events for you!

What happened to Spring? I wish this rain would just sod off now! This image was actually taken a couple of years ago at Country Fayre event at Claydon Estate. Boy did it hammer it down, but it didn’t stop the intrepid British shoppers out to bag some fabulous products. Anyway…. I’m ready for summer now please, but I’d be happy with just some sunny Spring freshness ☔️ ☀️

I will always remember 7 years ago when these 3 lovely women helped me set up my little events business and I remain so grateful to them all. A selfless thing to plough yourself into with enthusiasm in abundance returned by very little pay (!). Strong, kind, funny and hard working!

And as if by luck, having lost all our Instagram content & followers to a hacker a few years ago we have today regained
1 0 0 0 followers. Thank you to you all for following along…🙏

Shout out to all the brilliant (99.9% female-led and owned) small businesses who I am lucky enough to meet and to work with at our events. The theme of strength, kindness, fun and hard work continues …

Onwards…!😘
