Bringing Warmth and Style to Your Home: The Perfect Combination of Wood and Ceramic Wall Hangings

Woodfolk Ink Ombre’ Wood & Ceramic Wall Hanging

When it comes to home decor, every detail counts. The textures, colors, and materials you choose for your space can transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary.

Woodfolk ceramic and wood wall hangings offer a way to bring warmth, nature and creativity into your home. The combination of the two materials complement each other beautifully and harmoniously through the colour and texture of the wood grain, and the earthy tones and natural handmade textures of the ceramic pieces. Available in a variety of colour palettes our wall hangings are inspired by nature through the seasons.

Jadeite Ombre’ Wood and Ceramic Wall Hanging.

Our wall hangings are made for both inside or outside. If suited to the inside of your home, they will sit flat where the earthy colours will shine. They are light in weight so a singular hook or nail that has been safely installed is all that is needed to hang.

Alternatively outside they are best in not too a windy spot and undercover for longevity. You will hear the beautiful soft sounds of the materials clinking together. If it feels too rough, please place somewhere calmer.

Woodfolk Lagoon Ombre' Ceramic and Wood Wall Hanging

Each piece is handmade from start to finish. The ceramic components are handmade in our studio in Sydney, and the wood components are handmade by a lovely Newari family in Nepal. They use Sisoo wood, a high quality plantation grown wood that is typically used for high grade furniture. We have a developed a personal relationship with them and visit Nepal regularly. Newari’s are known for their amazing artisanal woodwork skills and we feel honoured to have found them over 10 years ago. They are paid fairly and properly for their work and Woodfolk is a member of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and adheres to their values.

Our ceramic components are made from Australian clay using non toxic glazes. Our wall hangings are finished using naturally dyed Australian Kangaroo leather.

Autumn Inspiration

Nature is an unbelievable resource for inspiration. Walking through any park, forest or leafy neighbourhoods during Autumn/Fall feels like stepping onto an artists canvas. The process of the leaves shifting from green to vibrant reds, orange, ochre, gold and deep purple can stir your inner being and connection with soul.

I find my whole body noticing the shift in season. The fresh smells, the cooler mornings and evenings, the light wind in my ears, my eyes ever watching the richness of colours, the fruit and vegetables and the foods I want to cook. It’s a time of change and reflection.

My ceramics reflect the seasonal change through my glazes and my designs.
