Artist statement

My creative practice rests upon three guiding principles: the preservation of traditional leathercraft, a commitment to sustainability, and the expression of empathy through design. Working with leather off-cuts, I transform overlooked materials into meticulously crafted objects — from jewellery and accessories to sculptural toy animals and decorative pieces for interiors.

I am drawn to precision and detail. Each work is carefully composed, balancing heritage techniques with a contemporary sensibility. Sustainability is an integral part of my process, not as an aesthetic of imperfection, but as a disciplined way of creating beauty through resourcefulness.

Through these works, I aim to evoke quiet emotion and connection — to remind that craftsmanship, care, and imagination can turn the simplest materials into objects of meaning and presence.

Sustainability

Sustainability is central to Ten Cloudy’s philosophy and working process. Each piece is made to order, an approach that ensures thoughtful production and minimises material waste.

Leather off-cuts from the main collections are reimagined through creative craftsmanship, becoming distinctive jewellery, artistic accessories, and sculptural objects. This process demonstrates that sustainable practice can also be a source of innovation — transforming reclaimed materials into refined, enduring works of design.

By combining precision, artistry, and environmental awareness, Ten Cloudy upholds the value of responsible making while continuing to explore new ways to express beauty through conscious creation.
