FOUND FORAGED AND FALLEN

Emma Steger is a self-taught maker with a focus on sustainability, reusing and reforming wood often gleaned from unexpected sources. She works in and around the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border, creating pieces that reflect her connection to the natural world.

Exploring the outdoors has always intrigued Emma for as long as she can remember—pocketing interesting finds for the ‘Nature’ table at primary school, building dens, wading in streams, and hanging out of trees. She has always preferred being outside than in, and this love for nature has never waned.

​

Life took her to France for 25 years, where she worked a variety of jobs, mainly for survival, mainly cleaning. Despite this, she always felt the need to create, working with limited materials and borrowed time—truly making something from nothing.

Love brought her back to England, and for the past ten years she has lived on a narrowboat, grateful to be close to nature, witnessing the changing seasons, and enjoying the world from a different angle.​​​
