Artist statement
Hand crafted jewellery from traditional Saami materials.
I employ many crafting techniques passed down through generations, to create pieces that are steeped in history yet contemporary.
I also love to work with textiles and will be demonstrating my work with fleece and wool.
I'm delighted to be back exhibiting in Oldmeldrum with incredibly talented pals.
Extended Bio
I’m Kay Reid. With lifelong experience of hand crafts, my main discipline is jewellery. In recent years I’ve enjoyed returning to textile crafts and have learned to extract fibre from plants, process raw fleece, spin and weave, while continuing to design, knit, crochet, embroider etc. I believe traditional skills are beneficial in many ways and work to show those in my skill set are alive and relevant.
