MAKER OF THE DAY
Lood studio
Lood studio is a woodworking studio consisting of partners Louise Goodman and David Blay, based in woodland in the Kent countryside.
Our work harnesses the traditional crafts of steam bending and wood turning to create beautiful, individual homewares. Each of us working individually, but with a complimentary palette of forms and ideas, collaborating also on a number of pieces.
Nature is the primary source of inspiration for our pieces, where we look to transform the inherent beauty of raw wood into elegant, tactile and functional objects. An aim to capture a fleeting moment of movement in an otherwise static form.
Each piece is a unique handcrafted form that purposely draws out the inherent character within a chosen timber.
We source our wood from local suppliers and woodlands, seeking out and embracing the beautiful knots, cracks, burrs & figure distortions that are beautiful natural features of hardwood that work to make each piece unique.

The Capital of Craft Podcast with Rosa Harradine
Welcome to Season 5 of The Capital of Craft: Wales Special.
To celebrate the first Craft Festival Wales at Cardigan Castle, it was a real pleasure to interview Rosa Harradine for The Capital of Craft podcast.
Rosa is based in Carmarthen and makes brooms and brushes. We talk about her creative life and how she began making brooms. It's a lovely story and I hope you enjoy listening.
You can meet Rosa and 80 more makers at Craft Festival Wales from September 6-8, 2024 at Cardigan Castle. Rosa is also one of our demonstrators and you can also find her work in the Craft Festival Town Trail, which runds from August 30 to September 20th.
Craft Festival Wales is funded by Arts Council of Wales, Ceredigion County Council and QEST.
