I was brought up around hot metal and glass casting; my mum was a glass artist, and my aunt and uncle run the foundry where I work. I am incredibly lucky to have experienced these things from a young age.

​

Unsurprisingly, I went on to study glass at Farnham UCA, focusing on blown glass. I took my foundry mould-making knowledge with me and applied it to the creation of blow moulds. During my BA at Farnham, I undertook a year’s exchange at MassArt in Boston, USA, where I was introduced to the fiery world of iron casting.

​

My work has always referenced the human body, primarily the female figure. I am obsessed with the form and lines that exist when we move, expand, and contract both physically and metaphorically. Most of my work is made with blown glass through moulds. I love to combine both metal and glass in my work, as I see such reflection in their processes, along with many differences in their visual material communication.

​

Currently, my efforts have turned to facilitating workshops through my Collaborative Casting project, where I seek to make these processes more accessible.
