Craftsmanship
Every Issy Granger piece goes from the pages of her sketchbook and into the hands of a skilled maker. We are incredibly proud to work with talented craftspeople and family-run workshops who share our love of traditional techniques, thoughtful design, and beautiful objects made to last.
From hand-blown glass and handcrafted lighting to hand-painted ceramics, each collection reflects the dedication, expertise, and artistry of the people who bring our designs to life.
Merino Wool Weaving
When Issy set out to design our collection of Merino wool throws, she wanted to create something close to home. Inspired by the Yorkshire countryside where Issy grew up, we chose to work with traditional Yorkshire mills, known for their long-standing weaving heritage and exceptional attention to detail.
Each throw is woven in England from 100% Merino lambswool using time-honoured weaving techniques that have shaped Yorkshire's textile industry for centuries. The result is a collection of beautifully crafted blankets that are wonderfully soft, timeless, and made to be treasured for years to come.
Named after celebrated writers and poets, our Keats, Marlowe and Wilde throws reflect Issy's love of colour, pattern and enduring design. Working with these skilled British makers allows us to celebrate the artistry, expertise and care that goes into every blanket.
Egyptian Glass Blowing
For over six years, Lamyaa and her team have been bringing our glass collections to life. We speak almost daily, and their passion, expertise, and willingness to embrace new ideas make them a joy to work with.
Every piece is crafted using traditional borosilicate glassblowing techniques. No moulds are used at any stage of the process. Instead, each object is formed entirely by hand and by eye, a remarkable skill that takes years to master.
Because every piece is handmade, no two are ever completely identical. We believe these subtle variations are part of their beauty. They are a reminder that a real person has spent time creating something unique, carrying forward centuries-old glassmaking traditions.
Whether it's the countless hand-applied dots that make up our Pom collections, or the carefully painted colour of our Buto & Ombo candlesticks, every design requires extraordinary patience and precision.
Many of our glass candle holders are named in honour of the talented Egyptian makers who help create them, recognising the skill and dedication that goes into every object.
Lamp Making
Our sculptural wooden lamp bases are handcrafted in the UK by Bob, a highly skilled carpenter.
Using carefully selected timber, each base is measured, cut, and assembled by hand to create our distinctive hexagonal silhouette. The precision and craftsmanship involved in every piece is remarkable.
We're incredibly proud to work with British makers and to have our lamp bases crafted here in the UK. Bob's expertise helps us create pieces that feel truly unique to Issy Granger, combining thoughtful design with exceptional craftsmanship.
Lampshade Crafting
Our lampshades are handcrafted by Bonnie, Jen, and their wonderful team of makers.
Every shade is assembled by hand, with linen carefully stretched and finished around metal frames before trims are meticulously applied. The attention to detail required at every stage is extraordinary.
Having their workshop close to our own means we can collaborate face-to-face throughout the design process. Working alongside such talented women and seeing their skill firsthand is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
Ceramic Making
Our ceramic butter dishes and egg cups are made by Cristina and her team, a family-run workshop with more than 30 years of experience.
Based in Portugal's renowned Alcobaça region, they use traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.
Each butter dish is individually hand-painted, bringing Issy's playful designs to life. Every brushstroke of our signature circus stripes has been applied by hand and requires exceptional care, precision, and a very steady hand!
The result is a collection of pieces that are both beautiful and functional, carrying the character, heritage, and craftsmanship of the people who made them.
Linen Weaving
Our linen collection is made by a family-run business in Portugal, a country renowned for its textile craftsmanship and expertise in producing some of the finest linen in the world.
Crafted from 100% stone-washed linen woven from French flax, each napkin and tablecloth is carefully made with exceptional attention to detail. Combining traditional craftsmanship with high-quality natural materials, the result is a collection that feels both timeless and practical.
Beautifully soft from the very first use and naturally durable, our linen is designed to be enjoyed for years to come, bringing character and effortless elegance to everyday dining and special occasions alike.
