Description

With a lush ceramic tile lid, handmade by Angela Evans. And not only for storing chillis, also for salt, your favourite spice mix (mine is Zaatar) or even to put your rings in while baking!

This garlic pot is part of a collection of kitchen pots I made with Angela. I met her through Holly & Co but have long before that admired her work and often thought the contrast of the black wood and her beautiful vegetable tiles would work so well together. And she’s from Brighton (unbelievably living round the corner).

The colour of the wooden oak pot, is a result of Yakisugi, or charring. Yakisugi is a 16th century Japanese technique that involves using only fire to colour, seal, and preserve hard woods. Charring the wood is followed by cooling, combing, sanding, and cleaning. The final part of the making is wiping the pot with a natural oil. What results has a new form, texture and feel, smell and presence. It really is a magical process! Yakisugi results in a resilient surface, and it is also an entirely natural process - no dyes, glues or chemicals are used! Because we use salvaged wood, we are reducing waste and giving a new life to materials that otherwise would be discarded. Not only useful and beautiful, but also kind to the environment!

Founder Hayley with mucky hands from the Yakisugi charring process

Artshed Brighton

Brighton, East Sussex

Hi, I’m Hayley - a maker, obsessed with cooking, and seeing food beautifully presented.

I’ve been transforming wood, fabrics, and furniture for over 20 years, working mainly on commissions and with chefs and event designers.

Since moving to the UK in 2016, Yakisugi (or charring) has been the focus of my work.

Each item in my wooden tableware collection is designed to accentuate the colour and texture of food, as it contrasts so beautifully with the charred wood.
