Vanessa Stone Artist - Workshops: Super Shields

Striking shields at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford - a family drop-in for all ages to make customised shields using sticky vinyl plastic and recycled cardboard.

ABOUT ME

I am a multidisciplinary artist with hand made processes and small scale production at the heart of what I do. I publish sustainably made greetings cards & tea towels and make one-off, hand printed cushions made from gorgeous linen upholstery waste that I source on my doorstep. My inspiration is all around me from the beautiful architecture on my doorstep, to the wonderful trees, creature and nature that I see when I am walking or riding my bike. I use papercutting, collage and stencilling to make hand made originals that encapsulate a sense of connection to English landscapes and architecture.
