Watch: In Studio with Curata

Robyn Yeang, Artist and founder of Curata invite us inside their studio at Netil Corner.

Inside the studio of Curata, founded by artist Robyn Yeang, you're met with the warmth of Western soul the moment you walk in. What's clear from the outset is that cowboy culture moves way beyond romanticism into its realness. Worn leather boots, weathered chaps and a potato hessian sack sit proudly within her space at Hackney Downs Studios. Her rustic, hand-thrown crockery lines the shelves, while a trusty kiln she's named Toaster works away, nestled in the corner.

It's a world Robyn built out of a difficult period in her life, where much of what was happening felt out of her control. In the middle of it all, she turned to painting as a way of healing and reconnecting with herself. What she's continued to build since is a beautiful practice of rustic, whimsical Western tableware that lives in ranches, homes and spaces across the world.

In the latest episode of In Studio, Robyn takes us around her Hackney Downs Studio space to reflect on her craft and the personal story beneath it all. From the palette that starts each piece to the hand built ceramics in her growing collection of Cowboy Crockery, for Robyn, the Western Daydream represents the values you're drawn towards. A shared longing for something wild, free and full of possibility.

In Studio is a discovery led film series exploring the practice and journey of the most trailblazing creatives shaping culture from inside their Eat Work Art studio.
