Final work

Mixed media installation of two wooden frames with ceramics and fabric

Welcome Wanderer

'Welcome Wanderer' mixed media degree show installation piece (2023).

Mixed media installation: Wooden frames with ceramic tiles decorated using a mixture of glaze and melted glass. Fabric hanging print created from a series of scanned paintings collaged together. Screenprinted Venus fly trap prints on the window. Vinyl pink floor splat pattern. Multiple ceramic pieces are placed throughout the floor space around the work.

This piece was inspired by abstracting the every day, using sketches and sculpture to create the final installation.

Set of 4 ceramic garden labels. There are 4 labels in the picture with the herb names written on them: Mint, Thyme, Rosemary and Basil.

Ceramic Garden Labels – Set of Four

Four ceramic garden labels: Thyme, Mint, Basil and Rosemary. Handmade in the North East of England using stoneware clay and assorted glazes. These pieces are wrapped in recyclable cardboard bubble wrap, reusable twine and packaged in plantable basil seed packaging. This makes the product sustainable and minimal waste to the environment due to the reusability of the packaging and the longevity of the labels with them being ceramic allowing them to be reused repeatedly. The Garden labels are currently stocked in Not Just A Shop online and in-store.

The picture is of 5 ceramic handmade ghosts baubles with different designs.
