Mary Ratcliffe Studio

Compulsively building since she was a child, Mary Ratcliffe grew up in her father's workshop and has been a maker of things all her life. After attending the Ontario College of Art & Design and working at a number of Toronto studios, Mary went on to establish her professional practice in 2013, consciously launching her furniture collection in 2018. Mary's work has an elegant toughness. Her pieces are imbued with a love for the yin and the yang, the feminine and the masculine, the soft and the rough. To say that 'it's in her blood' is an understatement, its also on her clothes, under her fingernails, and quite often on her face.
