CRISTINA ZANI

ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a jeweller and felt maker.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
I was born and raised in Italy where I graduated. I started making jewellery after moving to Scotland 11 years ago, while attending a course at Edinburgh College of Art. After discovering felt and its versatility I began incorporating it into my jewellery pieces as a mean to add colour to my work. I then moved onto making larger pieces of wearable art, combining felt with other textiles, semi-precious stones and found-objects.

My inspiration comes from observation and experience of the surrounding environment and my work is strongly influenced by my Italian heritage, the world of fashion and theatre. The emphasis of my design is on colour, texture and shape.

My work is sold through outlets and private commissions both in the UK and abroad.
