About me

I am a BA(Hons) Modelmaking student at Arts University Bournemouth. I am a proficient maker with diverse skills across multiple disciplines including machining, metal work, fabrication, soft edge sculpting/moulding and casting, basic CAD and Digital technologies - laser cutting etc. I am drawn to creative subjects, idea generation and learning as many new processes and ways of making as possible. I have a very keen interest in sculpting, moulding and casting. My outside interests include ballet and drawing.
