Publication
"Three Legs Don’t Wobble" is a publication that documents and reflects on the traditional craft of the Welsh stick chair. A practice deeply rooted in Welsh history, particularly within rural communities.

The project was developed as part of a wider brief exploring heritage, identity, and overlooked Welsh folk crafts.

My approach was both documentary and interpretative. I worked closely with Barnaby (@secksygreb / @bxrnxby_prend), a contemporary artist and fellow student at UWE (Fine Art), observing and recording the chair-making process through video, analogue photography, and in-depth discussion.

The final outcome is a B5, perfect-bound printed publication that captures the making of a Welsh stick chair by Barnaby. Through photography, interview extracts, annotation, and typographic detailing, the book offers a slow, observational look at the tools, gestures, and atmosphere of the workshop environment. It not only documents the physical process but also reflects on broader themes of tradition, utility, labour, and cultural continuity. Back

A Contemporary Reimagining of Welsh Lovespoons
This project deconstructs the traditional symbols found in Welsh lovespoons, transforming them into bold, modern patterns. Rooted in heritage yet forward-looking in execution, the work explores themes of love, luck, and human connection. By abstracting and reinterpreting these historic motifs, the project bridges the gap between craft and contemporary visual language. Presented through print-based outcomes, it celebrates cultural symbolism while questioning how traditions can evolve in design today.

As I Recall
2024
FlipBook

This flip book is a personal reflection on my upbringing within the Welsh-medium education system. Through sequential imagery and storytelling, it captures the everyday moments, cultural nuances, and emotional texture of growing up in a Welsh-speaking environment. Each page unfolds part of my lived experience, exploring both the beauty and complexities of learning and living through the Welsh language. The project serves as a visual memory archive — intimate, nostalgic, and rooted in linguistic identity.

Kids Activity Book (Creative Consience)


2024



Print
As part of our Creative Conscience project, we developed an educational resource aimed at children to raise awareness around sustainable farming and food production. Designed for use in schools and community centres across Bristol, the project features playful visuals and character-led storytelling to engage young audiences in early conversations about climate action. The core idea behind the project is that when children understand environmental issues, they become powerful messengers — sharing knowledge at home and helping to shift attitudes through curiosity, dialogue, and creativity.
