Tales of a contemporary basketry artist. Wednesday, 13 March 2013. Stella Harding JEWELS - photo: Arnold Borgerth. When I started secondary school we were given two books - a copy of the King James Bible and a book of Logarithmic Tables. We were told we could keep the bible when we left school but the Log Book - the mathematicians 'bible' - would have to be returned. I covered both in brown paper to keep them clean and stowed them in my desk for the duration. Made in my home town, the steel city of Sheff...

The Needle Files: February 2014
http://theneedlefiles.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 February 2014. As a jewellery artist working in mixed media, I am naturally interested in how people have used unusual materials or combinations of materials in the past.

There is not very much recorded for this area and so it does have an air of mystery which appeals to me. Links to this post. Back in November I was awarded a commission for "Making More" a pilot project organised by Making Space.
