Additional Skills

I researched and learned leather craft skills for a project involving making a holster belt. This involved all of the preparation, cutting skills, hand embossing and finishing techniques

While exploring some new materials I created some masks from worbla and plastazote. Using heat to help shape/mould then decorating using latex, calico scraps and natural dyes.

On the left you can see the full installation as this was a collaborative project. 4 of us worked together to create an installation of 4 Christmas boxes based on the nutcracker. On the right you can see my specific box.

Here I pattern drafted and created a garment bad for my university submissions. I created it using recycled fabrics such as scarfs. This was one of my first projects with a self drafted pattern.

I started learning millinery as an optional module at university. Starting with pattern drafting, making to measure, calico hats, felt and buckram. I have then since designed and made hats for specific costumes.

Here is a pair of frankensteins creature feet i made using cardboard, paper, cotton stuffing, masking tape, latex and acrylic paint. This project was a collaboration as we had to create from someone else’s design

Here are a few repeat patterns I created  on photoshop, using photographs taken by me.
