Textile Design BA (Hons)
I have studied a Textiles BA (Hons) at Chelsea College of Art and Design, majoring in weaving. I have also worked for several years as a jeweller at a contemporary costume jewellery designers.
My work is inspired by the organic formations and colours of botany. Layered and ruched in various formats, the woven como and spun silk cloths are a reflection of the flowers' structural elements. This is combined with an attentive colour palette, shades of which are enhanced with beautiful fine spun silks and the indulgent embellishment of crystals in an exquisite range of accent hues.
These luxurious textile jewellery pieces are a combination of two passions, with the collective aim of providing both a sensual and functional alternative, yet equally sublime form of adornment to what is considered ‘traditional’.
