Her new work for open studios includes a flared black bowl and a pair of spheres with sinuous twisted interiors.

Darren Appiagyei 

At Inthegrain, Darren Appiagyei creates bespoke pieces with a wood orientated theme. Every piece is created with an underlying story based on Appiagyei’s personal experience. In his series of pyrographic vessels, Appiagyei uses a mark burning technique to very subtly expose the transition of tone in the grain of locally sourced wood to enhance its natural elements.
