Rachel & Charlie Landon - Wilder Botanics

Wilder Botanics was inspired by former model and Maker Muse Rachel Landon’s 20 years of clinical practice as a naturopath and herbalist. As a model, Rachel worked and travelled long hours and the pressure to always look her best and keep a pleasant attitude meant that maintaining a healthy alignment with her inner and outer self was often challenging. Rachel embarked on fully learning about natural medicine, eventually becoming a qualified Naturopath Iridologist and Master Herbalist with honours-while raising her family. Since 2018 she has run Wilder Botanics with her partner Charlie and a small team from a studio in west London.

Bisila Noha

Maker Muse Bisila Noha is a Spanish London-based ceramic artist. With her work she aims to challenge Western views on art and craft; to question what we understand as productive and worthy in capitalist societies; and to reflect upon the idea of home and oneness pulling from personal experiences in different pottery communities.

Her work extends from wheel-thrown pieces with the distinctive addition of marbled slip decoration to create eye-catching abstract landscapes; to sculptural pieces mixing throwing, coiling and carving which connect Bisila to her roots, the makers that precede her and our past.

With a background in Translation and International Relations, Bisila is a passionate feminist activist. She leads the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre and co-directs Lon-art Creative, an arts and activism organisation that offers a platform for everyone to create, collaborate and reflect upon social issues through the arts. Lastly, she is part of Design Can, a campaign to make the design industry more inclusive and diverse.
