AxeWood Inc.

AxeWood Inc was founded by Jody Lentz in 2018 to allow him to pursue his passion for design and creation. Working with hand tools allows the wood to guide his hands toward the discovery and unveiling of the form within. Carving with an axe is an incredibly delicate process as an axe cannot force the wood to become something; the wood has its own desires, and the axe can only follow the grain.

Erin Templeton  

A vintage buyer by trade, Erin always found the masses of unloved leather inspiring, as each piece is a reminder of who it once was. All designs are lovingly handmade in-house in recycled leather, imported cowhides, or a selection of exclusive and locally tanned elks and bison. Truly the biggest part of the story is recognizing and uniting the elements. Erin’s fascination with the past informs designs that aim to defy trends. She uses minimal hardware and simple, strong construction, which allow people to adjust, change, and make pieces their own. It is her hope that each piece is able to be a lifelong friend, and to mix freely with new and vintage pieces.

Since the start of the pandemic she has focused on cross-stitching, which has helped her through the stresses and limitations of the pandemic by supporting her ability to express her creativity, albeit on a very small scale.

Each piece is unique and one of a kind.

Kate Metten Studio 

Kate Metten’s ceramic work reflects on Modernist philosophies of the West Coast Ceramics Movement and the unmaking of craft and material hierarchies. Her timeless wheel-thrown pottery tableware is deeply concerned with the physicality of form and function, represents the plasticity of clay, and experiments with the geological nature of glazes. The internal logic of her vessels is determined by intuitive construction and response to material touch; the indexical quality of clay renders dynamic impressions of mass and surface that preserve evidence of the hand and mind in motion.

Mona Lisa Ali  

Mona Lisa Ali’s ceramics practice began during a communal 420km artist walk/residency from the north of Jordan to the south. Her eyes were glued to the ground as the landscape shifted from forest, to ancient saltbeds, to hot red sand. Everyday she collected three stones and a handful of dirt. She didn’t realize that everywhere was essentially clay until she attempted to pinch a pot out of it, and it held together. In an effort to gain familiarity with her current landscape, she has carried this process forward. Mona Lisa Ali makes hand-pinched ceramics of local inclusions; plant ash to create glaze, or stones that are crushed into the clay. The majority of her works are woodfired, sodafired, or a combination of these atmospheric firings. Lately, she is focused on creating works to be used daily to add comfort and ritual to routine.
