“Untamed Timber: Handcrafted Wood with a Bold Splash of Colour.”
Welcome to the colourful world of Untamed Timber, born in my Eastbourne studio on the sunny South Coast of the UK!
I'm Anna Stelforth, the hands behind the uniquely vibrant woodwork you'll find here. My passion lies in taking the natural beauty of timber, shaped through traditional turning and scrolling techniques, and giving it a bold, contemporary twist. Forget predictable finishes – I love to unleash a riot of colour using the energy of graffiti-inspired techniques, the fluid artistry of inks, and the rich saturation of dyes.
My inspiration comes from unexpected places. The vibrant street art I've admired in urban landscapes, the unpredictable flow of inks on paper, and the captivating hues found in nature all play a part in the colourful transformations my wooden pieces undergo. I'm fascinated by the contrast between the organic warmth of the wood and the dynamic, often rebellious, nature of the colours and patterns I apply.
Each piece I create is a one-of-a-kind journey. The wood itself often whispers ideas, its grain and form guiding the initial turning or scrolling. Then comes the exciting part – layering colours and textures, allowing the wood to become a canvas for spontaneous and expressive designs. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, ensuring you receive a truly individual artwork for your home or a unique gift.
By buying from Untamed Timber, you're not just acquiring a piece of colourful woodwork; you're supporting a small UK maker and bringing a little bit of untamed creativity into your life. Thank you for visiting!
