Eggshell Inlay spoon set by Isla Cruickshank

Cutlery  /  Design
 
Isla Cruickshank’s practise encompasses a range of ideas and skills derived from her experiences as a cook, host and maker. The processes leading to the designs for this collection involve an immediate correspondence between the kitchen and studio; an acknowledgement of the transferable craft skills required in making meaning from natural and sustainable produce. The collection, Féasta, challenges specific values inherent in the possibilities of food as material, as well as sustenance. Féasta recognises deeply embedded cultural significance in food sourced from remote, Scottish estates, farms and kitchen gardens, reflecting social habits surrounding the cultivation and preservation of the production of food over many generations. The collection, in the form of functional and sculptural pieces, captures an eternal life-cycle, from produce, plate, object and experience. Each piece is designed to enhance the intimate and sensory experience of enjoying a fine meal; craft precision brought into alignment with distinctive culinary knowledge.
