A Tool for Ventnor revisits a speculative knife-making project first inspired by a 3,000-year-old Bronze Age blade discovered on the Isle of Wight in 2006. Now, ten years on, the project returns as a live public act of making.
Produced in response to Ventnor’s local culture and shifting landscape, the latest iteration takes inspiration from the town’s familiar wooden fish-and-chip fork. By making the knives in public, A Tool for Ventnor reveals processes usually hidden from view, presenting craft and manufacturing as active, contemporary practices that connect past, present, and future through the act of making.
