5 out of 5 starsABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS I knew that these salt and pepper mills were going to be special, but when I opened the package and saw them, I did a spontaneous little jig. And I am not the kind of person who normally does that! Absolutely gorgeous, bringing delight and joy into our every meal. Thanks so much Louise!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous piece of jewelry. Quirky style that shows the artist's esthetic. High quality workmanship. The chain Louise chose suits it perfectly. I would love to buy another piece from this artist. Communication, description, packaging and shipping were all great. Thank you!

Great Fire of London Salt and Pepper Mills
Nature inspired boxes, sculpture, jewellery and mills from North Wales
My name is Louise Hibbert and I have been making intricate boxes, handheld sculptures, salt and pepper mills and jewellery out of wood, plastic and metal since 1994. Some of these have been collaborations with Sarah Parker-Eaton, a jeweller based in Bedfordshire England. These have been really fun and helped to develop both of our individual careers. I am also excited to have recently started a range of hand-fabricated jewellery made from gold, silver, copper and resin.
I studied 3D design in wood, metal, ceramics and plastics at Brighton University in England before going on to become a full-time professional maker. After living in the Virginia, USA for 7 years I am now back in Wales again where I continue to create nature inspired pieces that I exhibit in Galleries and shows around the world (and here on Etsy!).
I have a small shed that I built in my garden where I work which has a wonderful view down to the village promemade and the Menai Straights. I still use a 1950 Wadkin Bursgreen lathe that I love, a faithful companion that I bought second hand when I started and who travelled with me to the States and back!
I have been fortunate enough to included in numerous publications and books including New Masters of the Wooden Box by Oscar Fitzgerald and most recently Intersection: Art and Life by Kevin Wallace.
I am constantly seeking new inspiration for my work in books, museums, on the internet and in the wild. I love microscopic creatures, marine life, beetles, bugs, seeds - particularly the weird and wonderful - basically anything that intrigues and delights me with it's form, texture or color! I love trying new things and constantly push myself in terms of designs and techniques.
