Our Story

Talc - previously AM Faulkner - is a contemporary millinery and accessories studio specialising in headpieces and veils for the modern bride, the understated, the quietly expressive.

Each piece is handcrafted in London and the North East of England by a small team of skilled artisans, using ethically sourced and sustainable materials. Great care is taken to trace the origin of every fabric and component used in the studio, ensuring a considered and responsible approach to making.

Founded by London based designer and artist Ann-Marie Williamson, the studio has become known for its refined, material led approach to bridal accessories. Alongside the studio, Ann-Marie  maintains an independent contemporary art practice. This ongoing exploration of cloth, surface and material sensitivity, subtly informs the studio’s approach to texture, form and concept.

Talc creates pieces intended to be worn with ease and confidence, grounded in material presence, and made to endure as future heirlooms.
