An exploration of handicrafts
Founded in 2023, w.y.studio is a cultural innovation and handicraft studio based in Birmingham. A studio that weaves together the past and the present, breathing new life into traditional handicrafts. We celebrate the diversity of human creativity and the beauty that emerges when ancient traditions meet contemporary expressions. In a fast-paced age dominated by screens and instant gratification, embracing handicrafts offers a counterbalance—a chance to slow down, find joy in the process, and create something beautiful with our own hands.
Inspired by ethnic artisan
I’m Wenyuan, a cultural researcher and maker on a mission to weave stories through my creations.
Over the past 5 years, I‘ve delved deep into cultural research, visiting different places to gather insights and inspiration. From bustling cities to remote villages, every corner holds a tale waiting to be told. ✈️📚
Since childhood, I’ve had a passion for crafting, finding joy in the process of bringing ideas to life. I have worked in the event and hospitality industry before.
Now, I‘m merging my love for culture with my crafting to develop my little studio.
Join me on this journey to explore diversity and creativity!😊
Cultural Innovation
At our studio, we believe that cultural innovation is the key to preserving and revitalizing vanishing handicraft. By embracing modern design sensibilities and exploring innovative materials, we create a harmonious blend of old and new, ensuring that the essence of heritage continues to thrive in our creations.
