Yvette became highly interested in the process of Steam Bending within her time spent at University of Plymouth. Enjoying the excitement and unpredictable outcomes of her on going experimentations, has allowed her to express her creativity through this innovative process.
All of Yvette's products are created using locally sources, fast growning, straight grained Ash from the south west, England. This allows her desired designs to be created and to allow her skills within steam bending to be pushed to the limits.
