    Travelling

  • Description

    My motivation derives from community living and working together with people to achieve an ultimate goal whilst also connecting and living in harmony along the way. I have not done a work away before, however I have been travelling around the UK and on and off been living in a van during the summer seasons taking part in lots of voluntary work for festivals, mainly involved in artistic decor and on site traffic departments which has brought me so much happiness. I am recent graduate from a 3D design and craft Degree, specialised in blacksmithing and silversmithing. I am driven most by my creativity and my ability to problem solve within this.

  • More details about your skills

    My skills have always been evolved around making. In more recent years this has specialised in metal work, using blacksmithing and silversmithing techniques to make art and sculpture. Due to the nature of my Degree (3D design and Craft at University of Brighton) I also learnt in other material areas such as wood work, ceramics, polymers, and a bit of digital design too.
    Another skill that has ran as a constant through my life is hand and machine sewing! I have always had a passion to make clothes/mend and create things from fabric so it quickly became a refined skill of mine.

    I have had a job as a Nanny for young children for a couple of months now, which involves pick up and drop off to and from nursery on an electric bicycle with a trailer that the kids ride in, as well as cooking and cleaning for the family.

    Cooking quickly turned from a passion to a proud skill that I love to share with large groups of friends and family.

  • What else ...

    One of my favourite hobbies is driving and more specifically driving to wild swimming spots spending time in cold water all throughout the year in the UK. This also covers some of my other interest like hiking and exploring in nature inspecting drawing and documenting some of the landscape along the way.

    I am most relaxed and happy when I am sat around a fire listening to people creating music! I don't play any instruments myself but I love nothing more than listening and watching other people master it.
