Winter and Kurth

David Winter and Natasha Kurth collaborate to create intricate contemporary marquetry and are pushing boundaries by using new materials such as burnished aluminium.

"During our MA studies at the Manchester School of Art, we collaborated on our first major project “For What it’s Worth”. The project was very well received and led to our Graphite Side Table being bought by Manchester Art Gallery. It was the success of this collaboration that inspired us to start the business. Through this process we learnt to identify and value our individual skill sets and the benefits of what can be achieved through collaboration across disciplinary boundaries." Winter and Kurth

Christy Oates combines the ancient craft of marquetry with algorithms from google analytics, dovetailing tradition with technology to create these kalidoscpic Marquetry designs. Christy is currently exhibiting as part of the 40 under 40 at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
 “As an artist and furniture maker with a background in manufacturing, I’m inspired by digital making combined with traditional woodworking techniques. I use computer-aided drafting programs and computer numerical control (CNC) machines like laser cutters and CNC routers to create my work. I am most interested in questioning where the boundaries of art and manufacturing meet." Christy Oates
