Here are some of my images from college.

I have been lucky enough to returned to education as a mature student to study fabric design. In the past have made my own clothes, knitted garments and altered clothes to make them up to date or look different. Always taken an interest in fashion, fabric and the construction of garments. Also attended a jewellery design and making course working in silver and gold and still wearing some of my pieces today but gave most of them away as presents ! Spent alot of time restoring old furniture for my home instead of buying new and had some unique stuff !!

Fossil Record.


Birch Diptych.


These are examples of Mary's work.
  Mary Bourne works principally in natural stone using variety of techniques, caving, sandblasting, heat and polishing.

This is her quote about trees " Trees deflect wind and hold onto the soil; they are an important crop, providing income and employment. But they are also more than this; as you pass through the
landscape they are hooks to hang your thoughts on and silent watchers of your passage."

Regeneration.



Mountain Flower.


Bourne produces a sculpture that you want to pick up and touch the lovely smooth texture they appear to have. They are so rustic, yet very sophisticated pieces of art that would look good in a city or in a rural setting.
