We are beyond thrilled to announce that Ash & Plumb has been featured in the 13th September issue of Financial Times: House & Home, in an article written by the wonderful Emma Crichton-Miller. The feature delves into the evolving art of woodturning and how contemporary artists are using sculptural vessels to explore themes of mortality, history, and our connection to trees. Through this process, we, alongside other talented makers, share stories embedded in the natural materials that we work with, crafting pieces that echo the passage of time, resilience, and renewal.
It’s an incredible honour to be included alongside such inspirational artists and craftsmen as Max Bainbridge, Eleanor Lakelin, Christian Burchard, and many more within this brilliant feature. We deeply admire the way each of these artists approaches their work with a respect for natural materials and a dedication to pushing the boundaries of what woodturning can achieve. It is this shared passion for the craft, for sustainability, and for history that makes this article resonate so deeply with us.
A heartfelt thank you to Emma Crichton-Miller and the team at FT House & Home for spotlighting the beauty and depth of the woodturning craft. This feature truly celebrates the artistry and stories we all strive to bring to life in our work. You can grab your copy of the issue today, and we hope this article inspires a deeper appreciation for the craft that connects us to nature and the ancient traditions that ground our practice.
