My practice explores a sense of place and the notion of having a deep involvement with the landscape. I am interested in how materials can act as identity markers; influencing the way in which we view ourselves and the world around us through the imprinting of emotion...

This project focuses on the interesting and beautiful landscapes of broken ceramic created by an explosion in a bisqueware kiln. The original form has shattered and birthed a collection of small to tiny shards, each with its own individual surface texture. In my study...

The reason for creating my pieces of jewellery is to show my individuality and it allows me to become part of other peoples life stories. The influence of my work is about repurposing materials which I found challenging, e.g., old copper water tanks and old silver...

A slight anxiety towards using ‘harsh’ machine based processes has pushed me towards a desire for a more calming approach to making, and one that seeks to be as sustainable as possible with material choice. I am driven by the extensive use of hand-made skills to...

When I make, I am powered by my love of animals and my love of cuddly things, with the goal of creating something that will give me, my client, and any other wearers or viewers a spark of joy. For the wearer, I strive for comfort, through features such as soft...

The body of work is an exploration into various manufacturing processes and materials used to represent the form of the human hand. These hands are informed by the materiality of the process used with the abstracted forms expressing the materials themselves. The...

My piece is based on the chairs awarded during the Eisteddfod ‘Chairing of the Bard’ ceremony. I incorporated imagery from the Mabinogion stories, particularly animals, to create a piece based on welsh folklore with a message of preserving our ancient connection to...

I believe that the world can be too complex and that there is definitive beauty in simplicity and minimalism. I feel that minimalistic designs positively affect our mental wellbeing. The ethos of my work is to show that contemporary design can occasionally be too...

My practice is rooted in combining sound, experience and objects. The aim of my work is to stimulate senses other than the visual by creating interactive objects that enable people to be both actor and receptor in an experience of resonant sound. Translating these...

I am a multidisciplinary artist, photographer and maker. One thing which attracts me on art and design is turning the objects and their meaning around - making a new use for items that have been wasted, thinking about alternative solutions and possibilities for a...

My art practice involves photography, drawing, and ceramics. From a young age, Photography has allowed me to document my everyday life, taking pictures of my friends as we grew up, and depicting the struggles and joys along the way. My drawings have been a way of...

Our over exposure to common objects results in us viewing them in a synecdochic fashion. We disregard the complex nature of objects, our overuse of them obfuscates their identity, hindering our appreciation of them, limiting our experience of them. We don’t see a bowl...

Ethically sourced materials worked with traditional tools and techniques. Throughout my work I seek to create objects that are functional, beautiful and sustainable with a modern aesthetic that appeals to the contemporary consumer. At the same time, I love gathering...

Over the years, as a society, we have lost touch with what it means to have nurturing bonds and longevity with our belongings. Caught in a wave of disposability, and cheap manufacture, our modern lifestyles are having a detrimental effect on the environment. There is...

I believe in finding beauty in the irregularity of nature, the endless possibilities of life show us that nothing is impossible. I use clay for its ability to be malleable enough that it can be manipulated into the shapes inside my mind and through heat become strong...

This body of work looks deeply into the subtlety of colour through material, and how using luxury materials, such as porcelain, I can create delicate work with the overarching theme of yonic informing my ceramic practice. To create my forms I used a simple finger...

I believe that we all have a responsibility towards the world we live in, and that we need to open our eyes to the natural magic that surrounds us every day. My work, through fictional character design and storytelling, aims to bring forward a loving awareness of the...

This collection is made from what many see as construction materials – plywood and concrete. The arrangement of these materials to create furniture allows viewers to see them in a new light. The patterns incorporated are inspired by the industrial landscape of my...

My journey over the past few months of this project has been to submerge myself into the world of surface Pattern. I’ve had to learn the process from start to finish and find my own sense of style when it came to create my prints. I have learnt a lot over the past few...

In a fast-paced world where we are all constantly on the go, with barely enough time to stop and think, we overlook things, miss things and things go unnoticed. It is now more important than ever to give ourselves spaces to pause and time to breathe. My work invites...
