Stuart Williams Maker

I am continually striving to strip back my work, making it as simple and honest as possible. At its core, my practice is about finding a connection—belonging to a place—and reminding people to reflect on their environment, their home, and the spaces they inhabit.

For me, making is a way of documenting my relationship with wild places. It’s about capturing the rawness and wonder of the landscapes I love—the wildness that both awes and unsettles me. There’s a pull toward the unknown that I can’t resist; it builds anticipation, holds me in its solitude, and keeps me returning.

Sustainability is central to my process. I use local materials and non-toxic finishes, striving to create work that lasts—pieces that are timeless, functional, and, above all, cherished. My practice spans both production work and one-off creations, all made with care and intention.

My work has been exhibited and distributed locally, nationally, and internationally, and it all began with my studies in furniture design at the University of Tasmania.
