Practice

Nige Chisnall

I’m originally from New Zealand and now based in the Northern Rivers. I started making things as a way to slow down and clear my head. Growing up around the farm workshop got me hooked on materials and how they change over time.

These days I mostly work with metals, sometimes timbers. I like materials that are honest and hold their own character. Everything is made by hand, with space for the little imperfections that make something feel real. I work by eye and feel more than anything, letting things take shape as I’m making them.

It’s not meant to be life changing for anyone else, but it brings me a lot of calm and purpose and that’s enough to keep me at it.

If something here catches your eye or you’re interested in a piece, feel free to get in touch through the contact page. I’m also open to commissions if you have something particular in mind.

Thank you
