Hand-turned and carved from English sycamore, this vessel is part of Sally’s Corvus Nero collection, which draws its inspiration from the stillness of crow-filled landscapes. Sally used gold and silver leaf and acrylic paint to decorate the surface with a design that conjures up the beauty of iridescent corvid feathers.

Ethical, eclectic woodworking
- • Sally learned from master Tracy Owen in the UK
- • Her works are featured every year at Maison et Objet
- • She only started working with wood in 2012
Wood wasn't Sally Burnett's first love. She initially trained in 3D design and specialised in creating hand blown glass vessels and large ceramic installations. In 2012, by chance, she tried working with wood. Three years after that, she opened her workshop in Newcastle-under-Lyme. “I draw inspiration from observing textures from the world around me, by exploring historical references and from the structure of architecture,” she says. “This is a real eclectic mix, but absorbing these many references gives me purpose when I experiment with texture and surface.”

Fylde Coast
This lathe-turned vessel was inspired by features of the Fylde Coast in western Lancashire, UK. The pierced and carved surface of the vessel as well as its rugged texture, created using acrylic paste and matt black, evokes the beauty of the rocks and the extreme winds typical of the region.

Spiral Stair
Sally used pyrography to burn the designs into the surface of this lathe-turned vessel, combined with carving and the application of metal leaf and acrylic paint. Her inspiration came from a drawing of a spiral stone staircase, leading her to explore further themes of curves and spirals.
