Novus Collection: Part II — An Exhibition at The New Craftmaker
12–28 May 2025 | London SW1
We’re honoured to be returning to London Craft Week this May with our first solo exhibition at The New Craftmaker, presenting a new body of work titled Novus Collection: Part II.
Running from 12th May until 28th May, this exhibition marks a continued exploration of archetypal form, material memory, and quiet strength. The vessels on display reflect our evolving relationship with wood — each one shaped slowly by hand, guided by the grain, and grounded in a deep reverence for ancient form. These works are not merely objects but contemplative studies of texture, balance, and time.
We’re incredibly grateful to be showing alongside so many remarkable makers during London Craft Week and to be presenting this new collection in collaboration with The New Craftmaker. We hope the vessels speak to something deeper — a reminder that beauty lies not in perfection, but in presence.
We look forward to welcoming you in May.

A Conversation with Sarah Myerscough
As part of the exhibition, we’re thrilled to be joining Sarah Myerscough, gallerist and curator, for a live conversation on Tuesday 13th May (6:00–8:30pm). The talk will explore our creative process, our response to the natural imperfections of wood, and how these marks of age and weathering become central to each vessel’s final voice.
This is a ticketed event (£15) and forms part of the official London Craft Week programme.

About the Work
The Novus Collection began as a study in new beginnings — drawing from classical pottery forms and remaking them in English Oak through techniques both ancient and contemporary. Part II expands upon that vision with larger, more complex vessels that hold space for stillness and weight.
From large Amphorae to quiet, sculptural Psykters, each piece has been crafted over many weeks using hand-turning, carving, burning, liming, and stitching. The work carries both the human hand and the marks of time — a layered process that echoes ritual and reflects the emotional potential of cra
