A beautifully curated space full of handcrafted wares in natural materials, botanical beauties & rediscovered treasures. Plus regular workshops, artist events & private functions to bring like minds together.

artist statement

My artwork explores the textural interplay of a range of natural materials, & expands the historically female dominated activities of crochet, vessel making, felting & weaving, into contemporary art objects. 

Emerging from a materials-driven design process, my work straddles both the functional & sculptural qualities of textile mediums. The tactile appeal of each work is as much a part of the design process as the consideration of colour and shape.
