Last year I travelled up to Wales in the van to spend a few days with the wonderfully inspiring Emma Wood, a British artist and surfer. Although her workshop and home is based in Wales, Emma spends a lot of time in Ireland and Mexico, where she travels often with her beautiful family. Emma’s art takes form in objects such as lamps, furniture, wall art, and surfboards created using marquetry, an ancient a meticulous craft of carved geometric patterns out of wood veneer. Her work is truly amazing. Emma has an incredible story to tell, and you can find out more in hero ages of the book, Women Making Waves.
