Trish Woods - takes studio at Cockington Court Craft Centre

Trish Woods - Contemporary works in pewter, metals, prints and drawing

Trish Woods studied Jewellery and Silversmithing at Loughborough College of Art and Design and works predominately in pewter, aiming to produce a new and desirable aesthetic to this intriguing traditional material through contemporary designs. She specializes in statement jewellery pieces and giftware items that explore contrasts between form, surface, colour, texture and other metals. She also practices drawing and printmaking which supports design ideas.

"I take my inspiration from the world around me. Sometimes nature's forms, patterns and colours, sometimes the human figure and sometimes the man made world of architecture. Making, drawing and design are an integrated whole whereby one activity supports and informs another."

Recent research investigated chemical processes for colouring tin and pewter which have now been patented by Plymouth University and she has presented numerous papers on the subject both nationally and internationally.

From November 2014 Trish will be based at the Seachange Craft Studios, unit 6, at Cockington Court, Torquay, Devon where her work will be available for sale and commission. Please contact for further details.
