Flocking Marvellous!
14-May-2010
Jewellery designer Zoe Robertson launches her new collection of neckpieces Flocking Marvellous. Which have recently been exhibited by Charon Kransen Arts at SOFA Art Fair 2010 (USA) during April and will be exhibited at the Electrum and Lesley Craze galleries in London from May.
These pieces continue to explore her passion for unusual materials where she enjoys the exploration of non-precious unconventional materials. The sensory and aesthetic qualities of materials such as flock fibre, rubber and plastic are of particular interest. This is coupled with new directions into the integration of bold colour and pattern through the investigation of the process, dye sublimation.
Zoe is a full time lecturer at the School of Jewellery and alongside this she is an active designer maker who exhibits her work internationally. Her most recent accolades include being awarded a Silver Award for Gallery Jewellery for the Goldsmiths Craft and Design Awards 2010 (UK). She was also selected for the European Prize for Applied Arts organised by the World Crafts Council – (Belgium) and the ITAMI International Craft Exhibition (Japan)
