Looking for Aetherwood?
THE PRIVATE ATELIER OF AUMBER HUDSON
A personal vision.
Beautifully made.
Rare commissions, bespoke works, and the art of making something particular.
The work begins
with a point of view.
A private workshop.
A considered way of making.
Five Pack Studios is the independent studio and atelier of Aumber Hudson. It is a place for rare commissions, bespoke works, and creative projects with a particular purpose.
The studio works independently of, and in close partnership with, Emberwright Enterprises. One creative thread, two distinct expressions.
IN SUPPORT OF THE HEARTH PROJECT
Good work reaches further.
Five Pack Studios carries the Hearth Project's commitment to creativity, opportunity, and human well-being into the work of the atelier.
The studio store directly supports the Ember Fund, beginning with the capital needed to establish it officially.
Discover the Hearth ProjectEvery detail
has a reason.
The character of a work lives in the decisions that shape it.
- I
Material
Begin with what is there.
Grain, weight, texture, and light. The material sets the language of the work, from its broadest gesture to its smallest edge.
Aetherwood, developed by Emberwright Enterprises, finds a personal expression here.
- II
Form
Give each line a purpose.
Proportion, balance, and the meeting of parts. A strong form holds together at a distance and rewards a closer look.
- III
Purpose
Understand what matters.
The person, the setting, the reason for making. These give a work its direction and its meaning.
