Rachel Jones

As a woodworker and jack-of-all-tradesy crafter, Rachel Eli Jones's work manifests in functional utilitarian pieces that are designed to bring out the natural beauty and capabilities of the materials she uses.

Her simple designs are inspired by the idea that with basic well-honed skills, and only a few necessary tools, the best kind of creative/innovative problem-solving shines. On this foundation, Rachel explores creating from all types of natural materials including wood, metal, wool, fiber, leather, plants, and wax.

When Rachel is not taking on a freelance gig, you will often find her helping out friends with home-improvement projects, or learning yet another new craft.
