Did you spot Natascha Maksimovic’s colourful stand at Decorex? She creates bespoke wallpaper and hand printed art using the ancient Japanese marbling craft Suminagashi. I went to meet Nat at her unusual studio (it’s part of the Dreamland funfair complex) in Margate
Ceramicist Emma Louise Payne explains the appeal of working with clay, the challenges of bespoke projects and shares the unusual plans she has for her mother
