Extended Bio
Mhairi McBeath is a designer & maker who, after graduating from Grays School of Art’s 3D Design course in summer of 2023, has set up her practice at Deemouth Artist Studios focusing mainly on Ceramics as well as folded art and lighting. Mhairi’s main focus is Ceramics, inspired by memories, colour and patterns she creates functional and contemporary homewares by blending traditional wheel throwing and 3D printing as a method to create tools and stamps, ensuring consistency and a refined finished product.
Throughout university Mhairi focused on using paper folding as a problem solving method for her design work, this then fed into her work and can be seen most clearly in her folded light shade designs which are crafted by laser cutting and folding polypropylene plastic into bespoke handmade shades.
