Something on you mind..?FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where can I see what you create?

The Silverhand Creative Facebook page has a photo album, where you can see what’s currently available. I also have a presence on Instagram, where I usually post what projects I’ve got ongoing. Finally, there’s my YouTube channel, where you can see videos of how I create items.

How can I get my hands on your creations?

Should you be the type that frequents craft fayres, and are local to Sheffield or South Yorkshire, then it’s possible you may see me at any one of the numerous events that occur throughout the year, around the region. Come and say “Hi”, I don’t bite (usually).

I am in the process of creating a brand new web storefront (www.silverhandstore.com), that the aforementioned Facebook Store (and eventually Instagram) will link into. Until then, please message me on either of my socials, or use the web form on this site and we can take it from there.

Due to the ad-hoc nature of the materials I can get hold of, the items I create are usually individual pieces, or are very limited runs. So, if you see something you love; snap it up quick! As the chances of the same or a similar piece appearing again, are extremely slim.

Do you ship globally?

Yes, yes I do. Although, it’s probably best if you get in touch first, just to confirm shipping costs, times, etc.

Do you accept commission work?

Yes! Yes, I most certainly do. Whether you have something specific in mind, have seen a piece that I’ve already created and wish to put your twist on it, or you would like to brainstorm ideas for a project, then you are more than welcome get in touch to discuss.

What is Yakisugi?

In short, Yakisugi (more commonly incorrectly referred to as Shou Sugi Ban) is an ancient Japanese burning process that was (and still is) used to treat wood for use in cladding. Once the wood is charred it is weather resistant, insect resistant and (quite bizarrely) fire resistant.

I’ve written a blog post that describes the process and its history in detail, if you wish to find out more.

Where do you get the wood for your creations?

Almost the entirety of the wood I use is reclaimed, donated or “rescued” (yes, I am frequently intimate with the inside of skips). #SkipRat

Should I require other raw solid wood for a project, then I use a local, independent lumber yard that sources all of its timber responsibly.
