Sadie Blythin
Designer Maker

“I love working hands on with materials, there are always so many different possibilities in letting the material follow the idea.”

'Layer upon layer'

From simple objects to sculptural body pieces my work combines an interest in exploring the boundary between art, jewellery and fashion; and the dynamic relationship between the wearer, the body and jewellery.

I aim to create an eclectic body of work that combines a love of colour, material processes and design.

I am drawn to plastic in its many forms, from sheet to liquid, in combination with other materials. I am a great enthusiast of exploratory practice and as a result have developed a process to create my own material from paper and resin.

There is much debate around what is jewellery and I find this very freeing and inspiring. I am interested in producing large scale sculptural objects alongside wearable pieces.
