Barbara Price – Barbara Price Designs – Norfolk

www.barbarapricedesigns.com

After 30 years working for the Health service I decided I needed a new direction and studied BA in Design Crafts. I discovered resins in my second year and was fascinated by the translucency, the transparency and colourful properties. I experimented with making jewellery. I now design and make resin bangles that are wearable pieces of artwork. I sell my work at craft fairs, galleries and specialist jewellery retailers. The inspiration for my work comes from many sources including wild hedgerows, and Norfolk beaches at high tide. I am currently working from ideas based on a trip to India. For more details log onto the website www.barbarapricedesigns.com.
