About the Event
Penny's obsession is with form and structure. The forms that she creates are inspired by landscape, nature, architecture and life drawing. The challenge is to translate those ideas into wearable pieces whose qualities reflect the individuality of the wearer.

Further Info

My obsession is with form and structure. The forms that I create are inspired by nature, landscape, architecture and life drawing. The challenge is to translate my ideas into wearable pieces whose qualities reflect the individuality of the wearer.

Surface colours and decoration are incidental and only used to emphasise or highlight a structure. My objective is that each form is decorative and complete in its own right without further need for embellishment. I certainly belong to the `Less is More` school of thought!

I studied jewellery design at Central School of Art, London. I started my working life in Lots Road workshops before moving to 401½ in Wandsworth. During my years in London I exhibited at The Goldsmiths Hall, The Design Centre, The Business Design Centre and many smaller galleries. In 1976 I was commissioned by Pink Floyd to make silver pigs to commemorate their `Animals` tour.

I moved to the Midlands in 1978. During my 23 years there I exhibited in many galleries and taught wax carving at community workshops. In 1997 I was commissioned by the charity `Tusk` to produce a range of pendants featuring endangered species.

I moved to Milverton in 2007. I am now involved with organising regular art exhibitions at The Globe and have recently organised an exhibition at 10 The Square in Wiveliscombe.
