Craft meets ecological restoration in these urns by Sophie Ferrier, whose practice promotes circular making systems. Made out of invasive, non-native Himalayan Balsam collected from the River Wye, and bound with brown algae extract and tree sap, they are entirely biodegradable and compostable. She has also gone on to make lampshades from the innovative material.
