Carola is currently developing her work with antique teapots, exploring and expressing her lifelong interest in religious shrines and reliquaries, automata & mourning art and the histories behind objects, and trying to work out how she can possibly cram them all together to create interesting, beautiful, precious objects of wonder.
Many of these pieces express the feelings, interests and emotions of the artist, however the sculptures displayed here also have a more functional use.
Carola has recently joined Cross Street Studios in Hove and designs jewellery under the name ‘Lux & Love’.
Biog:
Carola graduated from Wolves Uni in 1995 with a BA(Hons) in 3D glass design and upon leaving began a career as a prop maker, working in theatre, opera and theme park design.
Since moving to Brighton in 1996 Carola has also tried many other things, among them accessories designer, production stylist, workshop manager, events co-ordinator & cabaret hostess. A 3 year spell as a retail display designer for clients such as Selfridges, Harrods, Top Man and Ann Summers convinced her to give it up and follow her true interests.
