Cedars Yard

Art & Timber creative partnership For artist Emma Read, the sea is her muse. It’s often what’s been closest to her – as a child she grew up by the British coast in Deal, and has extensively travelled to watched her partner surf around the world. Working in acrylic and ink, Read delicately layers paint and water to create dreamy abstractions that seem to rock and turn like the waves themselves. Glowing with a prismatic range of colours, her paintings tap into the nuance of light and colour that the water’s reflective quality brings about. Read truly captures the meld of sky and sea with intuition and painterly skill. Dan's goal is to make furniture that is as unique as your home and your needs and reflects the beauty and individuality of timber. Making resin and live edge furniture he uses local timber handpicked for its qualities and character. Dan hand-mills his own timber and painstakingly prepares it ready to become unique furniture. He has a passion for wood and likes to embrace the timbers natural shapes & markings, ​championing handmade over mass production.
