The work of partners Barnaby Ash and Dru Plumb is a harmonious blend of ancient inspiration and contemporary innovation. By referencing archaeological forms and reimagining traditional craft techniques, they create visually captivating pieces that pay homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of their craft. Working with a single lightningstruck oak from Heathfield, Sussex, for their curation, Novus is a celebration of historical inspirations reinvented in a modern and playful visual language. They choose to highlight natural imperfections, working collaboratively with their chosen material and embracing the variety of character it imbues on the finished vessels. These works are of considerable scale compared to their traditional practice and feature complex new carved handles and stitchwork alongside.
