Sward Designs

Hi, I’m Sue from Gairloch. I have been a keen crafts person all my life and primarily work with wood. Originally from the north of England, I now live and work in the North West Highlands and take my design inspiration from the local beaches and woodlands.

As a trained plant ecologist, I learned to observe the range of different shapes and forms found in nature, and to appreciate the beauty of natural materials. This is reflected in my work, where I use minimum embellishments to allow the wood to speak for itself.

The fascination to me is not knowing exactly what a new piece of wood will look like until it is cut or turned on the lathe. Only then will I decide what to create. Once a piece of wood is used up, it cannot ever be replaced with an exact replica, meaning that each design is fresh and new.

I hope you like my creations, and appreciate the beauty of natural wood as much as I do.
