craft – Page 5 – Harrow Open Studios

Working from my studio in Harrow, I use mixed media including glass, semi-precious stones, silver, metals, copper foiling and leading to create unique pieces. I enjoy recycling old items like china, silver cutlery and glass bottles and incorporating them in my art. My other passion is creating art with fabrics and embroidery.

Influenced and inspired by the natural world around me I explore colour, texture and light. I am fascinated by the way glass is transformed in the kiln.

My work is a constant search for the best way I can interpret my ideas. I enjoy the challenge of learning new techniques and working with different mediums which allow me to express different ideas and explore deeper into a subject.

I am an Australian artist living and working in Pinner. I create mixed media sculptures and drawings, usually incorporating stitch. My inspiration is found through looking and drawing and from the variety of bits and bobs I collect. Each piece evolves through the tactile process of combining materials with contrasting textures and origins. A piece may start with drawings and imagination but as stitches are added the unique personality of each emerges.

As a painter and a sculptor I find it hard to decide which I prefer. I love doing both. I produce contemporary paintings as well as abstracts in a variety of media. My sculptures are mainly stone carvings in soapstones and alabaster.

The Maker’s Art at the Heath Robinson Museum is a contemporary range of ceramics, jewellery and printed textiles that complement the imagination and enchantment of Heath Robinson’s work. The makers change every six months. Harrow Open Studios’ artists Nicole Lyster and and Lizzy Chambers have been selected for the tenth group who will be launched in mid-October just in time for the museum’s 5th birthday.

The Heath Robinson Museum introduces the new makers:

Nicole Lyster who lives on the Pinner/Rayners Lane borders, will be our next ceramicist. Her work is full of intriguing ideas that tell a great story. Our jeweller will be Lizzy Chambers from Wembley, who specialises in the highly original use of unexpected objects such as dandelion seeds and watch pieces. Thirdly we will welcome Jess Chan from South-West London, whose work, including scarves and bags, focuses on printed textiles and natural dyes.

Nicole invited artists participating in Harrow Open Studio to contribute a leaf to her creativi-tree. Each member was sent a blank porcelain leaf and invited to decorate it using their preferred method before sending the newly dressed leaf back to Nicole.

The tree has been installed at Harrow Arts Centre where you can see it in the flesh.

You can see it growing in this video https://youtu.be/p5KmCo7y1ko
