This month we introduce emerging artist Kathleen Ashcroft. Kathleen lives in South Devon and runs along the coast path near her house most days. Her keen interest in the built heritage and history on the stretch of coastline near her home played an influential role when it came to her recent Arts degree in 3D Design and Crafts. Lighthouses in particular were the source of inspiration for her stunning geometric jewellery designs made from recycled metals.
