1Silent Foxes
12th March 2013
Areas: exhibitions for sale textiles
Next Thursday night (21st March) at 7-9pm, The ReFound building opens its doors to Belfast showcasing its latest collection: ’50 Shades of Grey’; a collection of restyled one-off pieces by local artists and makers.
For this collection I up-styled 3 teak dining room chairs, which I’ve named ‘silent foxes’. The silent fox design came from my desire to compliment the natural colour of the wood with a visual that would hint towards a forest.
The RRP of each chair is £120.00 (GBP). If you are interested in buying the chairs you can either visit the Refound building –7 Wellington Place, Belfast, BT1 8GB (opening hours: thurs-sat. 10-5pm) or contact Jill O’Neill directly via email - jill@refoundonline.com or phone- +44(0)78 1134 2444.
I’ve also uploaded a post: Silent Foxes the making of where you can view the process of how I up-styled the chairs.
Silent Foxes – the making of
12th March 2013
Areas: for sale making of textiles
As part of Refound’s most recent collection I up-styled 4 teak dining room chairs, which I named ‘silent foxes’.
The silent fox design came from my desire to compliment the natural colour of the wood with a visual that would hint towards a forest.
Below I’ve included pictures of the processes I went through to create the ‘silent fox’ chairs.
Tabletop animals - the cat that fancied the robin
20th September 2012
Areas: ceramics for sale paintings sketches
Tonight (20th September) from 6pm, the seventh ReFound pop up shop launches in the new ReFound Building, showing the latest collection of restyled one off ‘works
of furniture’ by local artists and makers.
For this pop-up shop, I decided to ‘up-style’ the smaller ‘blank canvases’ of common tableware found in the kitchen. With each piece of tableware I sought to create an animal based design that would visually play with the food and add value to the piece without obstructing its primary
function.
Each piece is hand-painted using porcelain paint that ensures the piece is dishwasher safe once dry.
Below I have included pictures of the cat & robin final pieces along with their prices. Whilst I’ve created these exclusively for Refound, additional hand painted ‘tabletop animals’ can be made to order on request.

ReFound and Restyled

Next Friday night (9th March) at 6pm, The sixth ReFound pop up shop opens its doors to Belfast, showing the latest collection of restyled one-off pieces & ‘works of furniture’ by local artists and makers.
As part of the sixth ReFound pop-up shop, I was invited to restyle 4 stools comprising of wooden seats and metal legs.
I decided to utilise the rich texture and colour of the original wooden seats as the main colour and inspiration for the four designs. Each design was based upon an animal known for their brown colour, with the tint of each wooden seat directing the design placed upon it.
Below I have included pictures of the final pieces along with some work in progress pictures.
The ReFound pop-up shop will continue until 31st March at:
9 Wellington Place, Belfast, BT1 6GA
Open Tuesday – Sunday, 11am - 6pm daily; 11am - 7pm Thursday – Friday.
