WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH
I took myself off to the afore-mentioned Shetland Museum and Archives to immerse myself in Shetland knitwear, oh and many a book, pattern and essay on the subject. I am now fully versed in the tradition, social and fashion history of Shetland knitwear! I also have armfuls of documentation of the stuff!
I trained in public art and design, specialising in ceramics, graduating from Chelsea College of Art in 1995. For over 20 years, I have been producing public realm works around the UK and internationally. In 2011, I launched an evolving project, The Ceramic House; my home, gallery, and a living work of art, which I am covering with permanent ceramic and glass installations. Every May, I curate exhibitions of international contemporary ceramics at The Ceramic House during the Brighton Festival. In addition to working on public and private architectural ceramic commissions, recently I have been developing large-scale ceramic installation pieces for exhibitions which have been exhibited nationally and internationally.
