About me

My passion is making and I love nothing better than to work with my hands and thrive on working outside of my comfort zone experimenting with new ideas. I have an extensive range of practical skills accompanied with hands on experience manipulating a variety of materials such as Jesmonite/Resins/Plaster/Wax/Clay/Wood/Fabric/Metal/Paint/Dyes, making bespoke moulds from Silicone, Alginate and PVC Rubber alongside good working knowledge of Photoshop.
