Ether, Silver & Home
Faye from Ether, Silver & Home brings a love of home design to you! Bouncing off classic and current trends to create unique homeware. Using sustainably sourced and reclaimed materials, her aim is to create products that add to your home and last for generations. Part of her current collection of work are a range of bowls and tableware with co-ordinating textiles, and coming into the Christmas season Faye's wood and resin decorations are back again!
“Coming from a woodturning background I grew up with beautiful handmade pieces and homeware. The variations in woods are abundant, I have yet to meet anyone who isn’t drawn to the tactile quality wood has, the warmth it can bring to a home and connection it brings back to our environment is something I hope is evident in my work.”

From the creation of the original sculpture through to the finished article involves many processes. All designs are made using modern pewter, which conforms to British Standard 5140 and is guaranteed lead and nickel free.

I am a multi- medium Welsh artist and ceramicist living in Cardiff, who has studied Fine Art (painting) at Wimbledon College of Art (UAL) in London and have continued producing art and non- functional and functional ceramic pieces.
Through the medium of illustrational ceramics and drawing, my love of natural Welsh wildlife, from birds to butterflies has been a focal point throughout my practice. Utilising underglazes, Watercolour and fine lineal pens, I have been able to portray my unique dotted drawing style and celebrate the individuality of different native species and adding an element of mythology to these creatures.

Springer & Manx
Founded in 2019, I began selling hand dyed yarns and hand painted silk scarves. After several months of practising, I then introduced a range of wet felted scarves and wraps, adding bags and slippers along the way. Hats came next, along with felted bowls and vessels. I work from home, which allows me to pop into my studio to check on dye pots and felting etc. once the kids are home from school.
In November '23, I purchased a knitting machine - this will hopefully enable me to produce a range of knitted garments using British yarns in both natural colours and ones that i've mucked around with.
