In this time of fast-paced production and disposable culture, The Art of Slowness offers a paradox - honouring traditional methods of craftsmanship, the integrity of natural materials, and the value of slow, considered creation. Each artwork reflects a respect for process, whether through handwoven textiles, earth-fired ceramics, recycled materials, or painterly mark-making.

A triptych textile by Mathilde Felter is made with antique Japanese mosquito net fabrics, naturally dyed in indigo. Where time has left its mark in the form of holes, patchwork and embroidery breathes new life into the fabric, resulting in a layered composition of blues and contrasting textures. Other artworks are infused with elements from nature, echoing the landscapes from which they originate. Findere’s lamps are made from paper dyed with nettles foraged in the English countryside, drawing on the ancient Japanese technique of kneading paper, Momigami.
