As a mature student, I recently completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design, majoring in jewellery. During the course I discovered raising and hope to extend my skills base in this area.
Sometimes my interaction with metal is awkward and our partnership becomes strained. However, when control over the material is gained and the designed object emerges there is a new and special existence for both me and the metal. Mutual respect and productive exchange is my ultimate aim because making things in metal is what I like to do.
The feeling produced by creating is addictive and has repeatedly shown itself to be a demanding mistress. Completing the crafting process releases me to start anew and to try to achieve more in the next piece of work.
