Maker's Statement:
My inspiration comes from nature I like to study nature and draw detail from certain aspects. From there I design the vessels / pieces with the function in mind, using natural materials that connect the piece with the natural object it was designed from. The stones set are to add colour making the piece more precious to the owner.
Commissioning Procedure
My procedure for commissions by meeting the client first to find out from the clients what they are looking for, the character, style then I design a preliminary drawing and work from there.
