ALICE KNIGHT
Helen Gerry
Furniture Makers’ Programme Graduate of 2023 & Workshop Assistant
Alice is a multi-skilled artist, designer and craftsperson from Scotland. She has been a potter, a textile designer and a sculptor, but of all the materials she’s had her hands on over the years, working with wood is where she feels most at home. She seeks to balance beauty and practicality in her furniture designs.
Having worked for many years in immersive theatre and film as a prop-maker and set builder, Alice felt the desire to further explore her craft as a woodworker. Enrolling at the Centre for Fine Woodworking in 2023 provided her the space, time and guidance to realise her designs and visualise a future for herself as a furniture maker. Currently Alice is continuing her woodworking adventure at the Centre as a technician and workshop assistant.
‘Mirage’ - Wall Hung Cabinet - 656mm x 344mm x 232mm
A dovetailed cabinet made from locally grown Elm and Red Oak. The tambour sliding doors open to reveal a central drawer and a familiar feeling landscape made from spalted Red Oak and framed by ebonised Elm.
Inspired by the idea of being in one place physically and another place far away in your mind, real or imagined. Let this cabinet draw you in and transport you somewhere else.
