Out of the Pouch is an organic business, spiralling from a centre of deep love for the world and for art as a way of being in the world. Natural, recycled and upcycled materials care for our planet and are central to Out of the Pouch. Artist, Elisabeth Kulugitago, works with textile and other mediums on her journey. Art works are available for purchase and she is glad to work with you on commissions - such as gathering clay from land you love and wrapping it in an ancient netted stitch to hold it dear.
