Nepal

In 2002, Fiona Chadwick visited Nepal. She spent six months working as a volunteer teacher. Captivated by the beauty of locally handmade products, Fiona was deeply moved by the courage and perseverance of the artisan women.

Upon returning to Australia, Fiona used this experience to inspire her own creative process. She now creates products with the same qualities she witnessed in Nepal, and hopes that her works ignite the imagination of children and the young at heart.
