Aya's journey of crafting wooden jewellery began with her deep love for trees, appreciating their vital role in our lives. From the shelter they provide to the wood that graces our homes, she transforms this material into beautiful jewellery.
In 2018 she found a home, joining the ACT Woodcraft Guild, where she could express her creativity and a place where her passion for woodcraft blossomed. There she learned how to incorporate techniques such as woodturning, yakisugi, a traditional japanese method and steam bending.
She handcrafts to honor the organic uniqueness and to preserve the wood's warmth and timeless beauty in every piece.
