Sam Ayre: Spatulas

Sam Ayre is an artist, based in rural East Sussex who creates handmade homewares using inherited tools, materials and skills passed down from his late grandad.  Each piece is made from reclaimed and salvaged wood, sourced through conversations as an act of building community. Timber is sourced from farms, barns, fields and local sawmills with raw wood sourced from neighbours’ woodland, coppiced and air dried until fit for purpose. 

Each piece is created to highlight the naturally occurring elements of the material with ‘imperfections’ highlighted rather than eliminated in the individual designs.
