Oh For Craft Sake

Describe your works  

The works represent immersion while pushing away boundaries of social dialogue, reflecting our ‘waste’ and ‘throw-away’ culture, inspired by Anti - consumerism and The Environment that The  Artist has been forced to inhabit.  The works deal with currency and value and ‘what’s this worth?’ within a counter-fit society. We Up-Cycle!

Describe yourself in three words…

Life Story

I first learnt the technique Pyrography at International guide camp! I took it further when I wanted to make Jewellery different. I have been in business now for five years. I mainly design and make Jewellery. I have now started to produce interior products too. Now I am combining my skills with Gwen Brinton and her stamp furniture. I have always wanted to burn onto furniture. So it was the perfect start to create ‘Oh for craft sake’.
