About me

An eager and intelligent individual, hoping to expand my experience in the creative industries after graduating from Falmouth University in Cornwall, UK., and earning my B.A.(Hon's) in Contemporary Craft. In recent times, i have focused my work around materials such as Woods, Leather, Metals and found objects, but am pretty versatile as i enjoying learning about new materials & methods. I have a passion for travelling and would love to experience different kinds of work in different countries to get a wide understanding of the world, so as to become a 'jack of all trades'.

• Ceramic Work. 3-part MoldsTo work with ceramic and understand the casting process involved using a 3 part molds.
• Lost wax Glass-castingTo create a solid cast glass form using the lost wax method, and coldwork it until polished.
• Site specific sculptureTo complete a site specific brief for the National trust site, Trelissick Gardens in Feock, Cornwall. They wanted scupture/craft to be created and exhibited for a chosen part of their historic gardens, that was inspired by the history that resides around Trelissick Gardens. Here i chose to focus my work on the carriageways that were laid in the early 1900's. What inspired me was the fact that they were laid as it was fashionable in the late victorian period to experience your vast gardens by horse and carriage, not really allowing themselves into nature. I found this very contrasting with the way we view gardens today, and decided to create my own large spoked carriage wheel commemorating these past methods. To symbolize the end of this ways, i broke the circle of the wheel and altered its form. I made this piece from mainly pine elements and laithed the hub out of tropical hardwood. I thoroughly enjoyed working in large scale and developing my skills in woodwork.
