WOOD

ALISTAIR INNES

Having worked with wood most of his adult life woodturning was a natural progression for Alistair.
He is inspired by the characteristics revealed in the wood during the turning process. These natural features, often seen as flaws, are not defects but the inherent beauty of the wood itself, making each piece unique . Most of his wood is locally sourced, and amongst other turnings, he enjoys producing natural edge pieces with bark inclusions.

TEXTILES

ANNA BYELOVA

Anna started sewing a few years ago, when she decided to try sewing a bag for fun.
Anna's inspiration came from a normal day of shopping. She noticed that all the bags on the market looked the same and felt she could do something different.
Anna really enjoys making bags out of tweed as she likes the feel of working with tough material.
Each bag is different, and so the process is never the same. Normally, Anna finds some fabrics and then sees what kind of bag she wants to create. Once an idea is in place, Anna simply starts sewing.
Recently, Anna started to work on an additional project using textile landscapes, which she sometimes incorporates into her bags.

TEXTILE ART
