My name is Kirsty Isabella Morris, and in the next few months I will be opening an Etsy shop for my handwoven jewellery. I’ve been drawing, painting and making things for as long as I can remember. I have my mum to thank for that, she was doing the same her whole life. I focused on fine art for the first half on my education and got an A-level in the subject. But then I did a foundation diploma in art and design (a normal step between A-levels and Bachelor degrees for art students in the UK). I was introduced to all sorts of arts that I’d never done before, such as ceramics and textiles. When it was time to specialise I was torn between textiles and jewellery design. In the end I chose textiles and continued on to university, further specialising in weave and natural dyes.
