Echo Mines Studio is a small studio based in Bedfordshire, England and is run by Shal Mines. The studio is focused on using various found materials, normally obsolete, damaged and distressed items that would normally get discarded and are turned into unique bespoke art works.

Shal is inspired by the patina, damage and wear that can be found on items, especially on items that really should not have survived. She also has a passion for juxtaposition, combining ideas that should not really work while retaining the identity of the original item.

In an age where we are really starting to learn that we need to re use and re love items, all the objects she uses are given a new life as a piece of art.
