Tool Room Spotlight: Genevieve Morrow

We are delighted to congratulate Genevieve Morrow, our inaugural Tool Room Spotlight recipient - an artist whose practice exemplifies how the right tools can meaningfully transform outcomes at the bench. As the People’s Choice Award winner for Review. React. Respond., presented in collaboration with JMGA NSW, Genevieve’s work resonated strongly with audiences for its clarity, intention, and evolving technical confidence. To support this next phase of her practice, we were proud to gift Genevieve a considered selection of professional tools designed to refine accuracy and elevate finish. Arriving at Tool Room as a guest maker, Genevieve was guided with care by Studio Manager Deanna Wawn and welcomed not only into our workshop, but into our wider community. This exchange - between maker, mentor, tools, and space - is central to what we stand for. When the Right Tools Transform ResultsHer selection included a full range of sandpaper rolls, precision saw blades, a brass brush for cleaning post-solder surfaces and essential finishing tools. Each chosen to support control, consistency and longevity in her making process. Most notably, Genevieve’s wax work has levelled up. With the addition of micro-carvers, reamers, wax wires, and ring templates, she now approaches sizing, sculpting, and casting with greater confidence and freedom. These tools have opened new possibilities, allowing ideas to move fluidly from concept to form. With the right tools at hand, ideas move confidently into outcome. Cleaner edges. Sharper detail. A more refined finish emerging in each piece. That is exactly what Tool Room is about. See below some of the tools that help Genevieve transform ideas into beautifully crafted pieces.
