The Studio
[càr·ta] Italian translation for paper
[wood] Claire’s surname, and where paper begins
Ciao!
CARTA & WOOD was founded by Claire Wood, a Welsh artist and designer, with strong Italian heritage.
Working across retail, events, hospitality and set design, we create sculptural installations for brands that believe the details are everything.
Every project starts with a conversation and ends with something that makes an audience stop, look, and remember. We bring an architectural sensibility to paper, precision in structure, playfulness in form and a commitment to sustainable materials that don't compromise on beauty.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions for individuals, private groups and corporate teams. Whether you want to spend an afternoon making something beautiful or you're planning a creative day for your company, workshops are available across the UK throughout the year.
