The Fern Trug

The Fern Trug
 
The baby of the original range, the Fern Trug is a consciously crafted meditation on our relationship to scale and form. Available in a selection of wood species, it is well suited to the collecting and storing of smaller and more delicate produce such as rosehips, redcurrants, or soft herbs.
 
Handcrafted using traditional steam bending methods inspired by boat building techniques, the trug features an overlapping construction akin to the clinker hulls of Fenland boats. Its strong yet light structure incorporates copper nail and rove fixings as a further nod to boat building traditions, and whether nesting one inside another like matryoshka dolls or displayed as a solitary sculptural piece, the trug will sway and rock, boat-like, as it catches the wind. Fashioned from carefully and sustainably sourced wood and finished in a natural wax oil.
 
Handcrafted with the same meditative focus that defines all my work, each trug carries spirit, soul, and presence — a vessel shaped by patience, intuition, and devotion to making.
