It was a fantastic compliment to be chosen and not only did I meet some fantastic people but made some brilliant contacts too.
The exhibition was curated by Thorsten Van Elton and a cardboard theme was used throughout both weeks of New Designers to present the products being showcased in One Year On - which looked fantastic! The boxes were re-used afterwards for their intended storage & packaging use too.
The week gave me the opportunity to present some new pieces to the public - including this decorative crochet necklace, made from bin liners and second hand plastic faceted buttons. This design differs from my usual technique as it has not been heat treated, but still has a soft texture.
Here is another new design debuted at O.Y.O. My newest pieces have really been focused on creating a big statement - I like the idea of my creations growing in every sense of the word; it is another common feature of nature.
There were some old favourites back - glad to say that the bees were just as popular as ever!
