Glen Maye, Isle of Man.

Glen Maye Beach holds personal significance, it was one of the first places my fiancé shared with me on visits to his homeland, the Isle of Man. As someone from Wales, I feel a rare sense of belonging to the island. This connection has grown with each visit, making Glen Maye a recurring reference point in both personal and design inspiration. Its spirituality and natural beauty have a magnetic pull, and for years, l've been wanting to complete this collection inspired by it and in homage of my partner.

The rock formations, shaped by the persistent friction of the tides, are etched with smooth indents and openings, almost as if they're quietly inviting small treasures to be hidden within. I scanned these natural forms and used them as the foundation for a series of bowls designed to cradle and contain. By subtly manipulating their proportions and structure, I transformed them into decorative bowls and sculptures that were later carved through a CNC Machine. The fact that these natural indents, shaped slowly over years by the rhythm of the sea-have now been scanned and reimagined for practical use is something I find deeply satisfying. There's a quiet poetry in giving purpose to forms created by nature, allowing them to live on in a new context while still holding the essence of where they came from, pieces that echo the quiet power and mystery of the coast and of the island itself.
