This collection of vessels and forms by woodworker Jubal Prevatte has been shaped by time spent at Knepp, and by the quiet, persistent work of beavers within its rewilded landscape.

The work began with a visit to a beaver lodge, where Jubal gathered gnawed logs and scattered wood chips left behind on the estate. These fragments became a starting point — not just as materials, but as a way of thinking about how wood can be shaped through instinct as much as intention.

Responding to the marks made by the beavers, Jubal has explored a range of carving approaches, from tools developed to echo the scale and form of beaver teeth to more intuitive methods of cutting and shaping. The resulting surfaces carry traces of both human and animal intervention.

All of the timber used has been sourced from the Knepp estate. Some pieces retain the original tooth marks of the beavers, while others are made from ash removed due to disease. Each form is hand turned and carved, with an openness to what the material suggests.

Many of the vessels have no fixed base, instead settling into their own balance. Forms are guided by the internal shape of the wood, rather than imposed from the outside — a process that reflects the wider rewilding principles of Knepp, where natural systems are allowed to find their own course.

Part of Sussex Craft Week, this exhibition brings together making, material and landscape in a quietly collaborative way.
