Reviews from Our Customers
Made in Maple
Born in Yorkshire, Elise now works from her studio in Montreal, Canada, where she creates functional objects using locally abundant maple and maple burl. Drawn to the material’s natural warp and grain, her work honours the unique character of timber as a living material.
Elise first encountered woodturning while studying design, quickly becoming captivated by the immediacy of the lathe. With a background in visual merchandising, she brings a refined sense of form to her craft, favouring pared-back silhouettes that highlight the beauty of the wood itself. Her practice blends traditional techniques with a contemporary sensibility, creating long-lasting pieces that are both sculptural and utilitarian.
Each piece in Elise’s collection for TOAST embraces the quiet irregularities of the wood. Crafted from Canadian maple and its more figured counterpart, maple burl, the work reflects her commitment to local sourcing and lasting design.
