Neisha Crosland (tissue guru), Jermaine Galacher (design dealer) and Maya Njie (perfumer) are just a few of the creatives joining forces to create the Museum of the Home’s first Yard Sale on March 12. A total of 70 stallholders, including designers, artists, and interiors brands, will donate a portion of their proceeds to the Museum of the Home’s Behind the Door campaign. This campaign supports London’s homeless women. The online auction will offer prizes such as a consultation with John Pawson, an architect at Design Museum; weekend at Alain de Botton’s Essex House; ceramics from Faye Toogood; trip to Homo Faber’s exhibition in Venice; and furniture by Jamb and PINCH. Pre-registration opens on Friday at museumofthehome.org.uk; early bird and general admission tickets (GBP5-GBP15) for the Yard Sale are available online now. Skye McAlpine, cook and author, is a tableware designer and chef. The Yard Sale talks program features a fabric dying workshop with The New Craftsmen, and a Making mindful African Art workshop led by Birungi Kawooya. There will be a variety of items for sale, including exclusive designs, studio clear-outs, antique furniture pieces, and new craft made by Hackney artisans. Behind the Door is a partnership with the London Homeless Collective, which includes more than 25 partner charities that support homeless persons. East London Cloth will have a stand at the sale. Skye McAlpine, HandoutCook and tableware designer, says: “I’m proud to be part of such a brilliant event that will tackle female homelessness. The Museum of the Home is a great place for interiors professionals to come together to support such a worthwhile cause. “Stephanie Harvey, head of the London Homeless Collective’s fundraising, said that the partnership between the Museum of the Home and the London Homeless Collective would “educate, drive social change.” “The Yard Sale is a great example of our partnership in motion; it will raise money, create opportunities, and change perceptions of homelessness people.”
