STUDIO VISITS BY APPOINTMENT LINK TO WEBSITE“Why try and blend in when you were born to stand out”? asks A Little Forked Up artist Marina Cooke. Using antique and often heirloom silverware that already has a million stories to tell, Marina believes each piece helps bend and shape itself into a unique and trendy bit of wearable art. In her studio you will find the creative process is not always cut & dried, nor neat & tidy. There’s always a little bit of mad scientist mixed with sheer brilliance, moments of abysmal failure mixed with pure joy. This is what keeps an artist going. This is what makes their soul happy. This is where all the beautiful pieces come from. This is creation.

LINK TO WEBSITE Chris Sandvoss – violin maker “My process starts with the natural materials – picking the right wood. I don’t use power tools because they don’t give me any information, but I can ‘feel’ with the hand tool. I can feel what type of wood it is, and how it feels underneath the plane. You can tell the grain growth, the crispness of it and the life within the wood.” STUDIO VISITS BY APPOINTMENT. LINK TO WEBSITEIris Wakefield – I have been designing jewelry for 25 years.
