Six makers this week, and six very different ways in: a geologist, the only English speaker in a small Japanese town, a schoolboy, an architect, a supermarket food developer and a painter.
Peter Jacobson's bowls once covered his dining room table. So he set up a driveway sale, told the neighborhood, and sold everything in a day. Where do his bowls sell now?
When one ingredient ran short, Kirsty Adams's clay began to crack. The cracks became a new collection – kintsugi, mended in gold.
Sean Evelegh makes about six pieces a year; his longest, a longcase clock in brown oak, took about six months. As a student, one desk video on YouTube brought him a commission.
Marika Nad picked up clay in February 2025 and made a botanical bas-relief: a flowering apple tree with hummingbirds. Only later did she understand why she had chosen it.
Tony Phillips stitches a woodland floor in thread, using vintage linens, lace and rust-dyed reclaimed cloth. A larger narrative piece can take him more than 100 hours. What did he do before?
Amanda Sumpter trained as a painter at Chelsea College of Art. Today she carves alabaster, serpentine and reclaimed Welsh slate in East Sussex – and this year she trained in marble carving in Pietrasanta, Italy.
