An introduction to our 'cat clan' - family of cats in St Ives. Meet Timmy, Sidney Six Diners, Barnaby the Chonk & Treacle Soft Paws each with their own character. St Ives has a cat connection - not just in our house.
After a three day course with Hilary Jean Gibson, through the St Ives School of Painting, I created a sketchbook of observations made at the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden. Here I am sharing some of the pages & ideas.
My latest work 'Metallic texture' is a combination of unique copper & brass designs. Each individual cut out piece has a one-off surface. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth & Troika pottery the framed assemblages have a 'retro' feel.
I thought I would document my design process for a new collection of jewellery which has been several years in the making. Creating the 'master' patterns from metal which will be reproduced using the lost wax casting process.
A link to 'A day in the life of a metalworker' article by photographer Rick Davy who visited my St Ives garden studio in December last year. Beautiful images created on film for the @cornishlives project.
In October we continued with the #365dailycreate project with some mark making with natural objects. Diluted ink was applied with various found objects made into 'brushes'.
