Hi! I’m Kat. My partner, Scott and I specialize in woodturned, hand-painted mushrooms and lathe-turned boxes. We proudly harvest and process our own wood sustainably and locally.
This is my unofficial showcase for what we create at our home here at Sail Loft Studios.

Have some art based on bejeweled saints found in parts of Europe. (And there’s a wee painting of a wossname, as well).
If you like when the macabre meets art and faith, check out Paul Koudounaris’ book, The Empire of Death. It’s fascinating.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to take proper photos of this little guy before we parted it off and sent it to Lilypond Crafts and Gifts in Linlithgow, but here’s the next best thing.

We’ll be posting a few new mushrooms in a few days, but in the meantime, here are some more rubber stamps I carved from erasers.
My ink pad needs ink. Forgive the faded look!

I’m digging making stamps out of rubber erasers. This one got away from the sketch, but it feels pretty goth-punk and I’m happy with it.

I’m exploring making rubber eraser stamps. This might expand into me exploring Lino cut printing. I’m kind of excited about it!

Here’s another little jar that’s flown away to a shop called Made on Skye in Broadford, Isle of Skye. Hand-turned by the hubs, painted by me.

All work and no play makes Kat a dull girl.
Almost finished with this tiny little beauty. The urge to go spend more hours painting impossibly small details is strong, but I’m trying to train myself to remember less is more.

Well, who’s a fancy flapjack? We make jars, too! This one’s about 10in tall. Acrylics, ink, metallic inks and powders, and many layers of lacquer. We’re particularly happy with the crazing at the bottom.

Remember the ugly-stage painting I posted a while back? It’s almost finished. I work more slowly now than I used to, but with less stress & self-criticism. Whether or not a painting is good or even finished, it’s still all practice and building muscle-memory, learning techniques and style.

Metallic shroomery ahoy!

Countless hours go into each item we create. The journey starts by sustainably harvesting wood ourselves, drying it naturally up to a year, processing it into blanks, then turning and painting them, with a final week of applying 6-7 layers of lacquer.

If you’ve just sent me a DM, I can’t reply because of the UK age-verification thing. I don’t want to 1984 today.

Some odds-and -ends photos from here on the loch. I have no idea what the little frog I found on the beach was for—it’s got a little angled notch in its back for some unknown reason.

Ignore the less-than-ideal lathe noise! Here’s a video of a shot glass being lacquered. I like to paint the insides sometimes, just for fun. Acrylics, inks, metallic inks on sycamore.

Another shot glass! Painted by me: acrylics, ink, color-shift powder on beech. (I forgot to take a shot of the interior, which is lacquered bare wood. Hubs turned and finished this.
