Silversmith and jeweller
Originally a hairdresser involved in fashion shows and photoshoots. I retrained as a silversmith, jeweller and metal artist, gaining a BA, MA and several awards from the Goldsmiths company and the Crafts Council.I set up my practise in 2005 after graduating. My original and applauded “Tools for building sandcastle sets” have informed my work and influenced my style of perfectly imperfect. I now make silver objects and jewellery as well as continuing with my hairdressing work.
Upcycled Clothing & Accessories
As a maker, I use my creativity and imagination to transform discarded materials into something beautiful and functional.
Each handmade upcycled bag was designed and made by me, they are all one-of-a-kind creations, and the process of making them is a true labour of love.
Whether I am using old denim jeans, vintage curtains, or faux leather scraps, the possibilities for upcycling for me are endless.
I pride myself on creating upcycled bags that are not only stylish and unique but also eco-friendly and sustainable.
Whenever I create my upcycled bags, I not only think of their uniqueness but also the fact that I am giving a new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Which contributes to the reduction of waste and helps protect our planet.
Textiles & print
I make homeware & gifty-things out of old textiles, mainly mid-20th century. I love the prints, and think they deserve an extra life, rather than design and produce yet more new stuff. I’ve also been experimenting with print and collage using ephemera from the same era so hopefully I’ll have some cards/artwork/stationery to display by then as well.
Fashion/Clothing
Original prints, etching and monoprints
Stella Morgan’s printmaking focuses on etchings, stencils and monoprints. She uses direct observational drawing from life, personal photos or found images/materials to create works that sometimes become imaginary spaces, involving an abstraction and interest in texture and colour.
She has exhibited and sold work in a number of group shows and art fairs. She won an award from the London Centre for Book Arts in 2019.
Painting, Drawing, Printmaking
Katrin is based in Hackney and works in a range of mediums. Recently she has been making large scale drawings in different outside locations. Her subject matter is a combination of observation, imagination and memory.
She will be exhibiting some of her paintings, prints and drawings at her flat on Navarino Road.
Jewellery
I am a jewellery artist, educator and author of Silversmithing for Jewellery Makers. For over thirty years I
have been creating jewellery from my London studio in precious metals. My work explores the relationship between idea, material and process, guided by order, balance and a modernist aesthetic. Each piece is exquisitely hand crafted with the finest attention to detail and surface finish, embodying a rare mixture of precision, timelessness and a strong sculptural aesthetic.
I have recently shifted my focus to using waste materials to make jewellery as well as pieces which sit at the intersection of sculpture
and jewellery. I have created a range of jewellery made from broken hickory wood drumsticks saved from the drumming I do with Drum Works, a music project based in East London that encourages social cohesion and improves educational and aspirational outcomes for its participants. 10%of every sale goes directly to Drum Works for their work with young people.
I have an absolute love of making and I enjoy inspiring others by sharing my knowledge and my experience as a creative through my teaching.
