About
Made in Wānaka, New Zealand, Fruit Bowl is a creative smorgasbord by Briar Hardy-Hesson, where craft, art and design collide in a multi-colour spectacular.
I'm an object maker and surface designer, photographer, marketer, accounts person and administrator. Fruit Bowl is operated solely by me - If you send a DM or email, I'll be the one to answer you! I am a creative who will turn my hand to almost anything if encouraged. I'm extremely influenced by colour, pattern and shiny things and like to make things that I would want to live with.
