Pania Campbell-Simpkin
Guest Artist on 2025 Arts Trail

Pania makes chopping boards because it’s a perfect blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and practicality. She enjoys working with different types of wood, shaping and refining them into something both beautiful and functional. The precision and attention to detail involved in making a high-quality board are deeply satisfying.
Using recycled wood adds another layer of meaning to Pania’s work. She takes pride in repurposing old materials, giving them a new life while reducing waste. Every board she creates is unique, carrying both the character of the wood’s past and the skill she puts into transforming it. Plus, knowing that her boards will be used daily, appreciated, and even passed down over time makes the process even more fulfilling.
