Fiona Glover has a lifelong interest in woodcraft and design, and was drawn to spoon carving due to its gentle and meditative process. She initially learnt traditional techniques in greenwood carving and has since developed her practice to also work with seasoned hardwoods that are either recycled, or offcuts from furniture making that would otherwise go to waste. 

Rose-Mary Faulkner is an emerging glass artist based in Canberra, ACT which is Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri land. She graduated from the Australian National University School of Art & Design, Glass Workshop, in 2015 with a Bachelor of Visual Arts and then completed honours in 2016. Since then, Rose-Mary has been working extensively to expand and develop her artistic practice. She is a studio tenant at Canberra Glassworks where she primarily makes her work.
