Slow Made Goods
Ewen Brown’s passion for functional design, quality and utility and the desire to savour the hours and minutes rather than just count them, and to do everything as-well-as-possible, instead of as-fast-as-possible were the founding principals behind the establishment of Slow Made Goods in Norfolk, in 2019.
Working in wood that is either locally grown, storm-fallen or from sustainable and responsible sources, Ewen’s handcrafted spoons and organic fibre brushes are made using a sloyd knife, carving axe and hook knife with a total focus on the highest quality craftsmanship.
Slow Made Goods aim for zero waste, using, where possible, timber offcuts in new designs, breaking down smaller waste into packaging materials and composting sawdust.
