Woodburning and art workshops
Woodburning and art workshops
Matt is an Aboriginal artisan who brings traditional techniques into contemporary homewares through the art of wood burning. Utilising a method known as pokerwork, Matt engraves intricate designs onto wooden surfaces using heated tools, a practice deeply rooted in Indigenous Australian culture. Matt's creations, including serving boards, clocks, and decorative pieces, are not only functional but also serve as a canvas for storytelling, reflecting the rich heritage and connection to Country inherent in Aboriginal art.
Incorporating these traditional methods into everyday items, Matt offers a unique blend of practicality and cultural expression. His work stands as a testament to the enduring nature of Aboriginal art forms and their relevance in modern design. By choosing Matt's handcrafted pieces, customers are not only acquiring beautifully made homewares but also supporting the preservation and continuation of Indigenous Australian traditions.
Matt also produces gorgeous art pieces offering a contemporary take on traditional designs.
