Hannah Fewtrell-Bolton After her National Diploma Foundation at Bournville, Hannah started her BA course at the School in 2005. This course provided a range of influences and a variety of stimuli resulting, in 2008, her work being shown in London at the contrasting events of Pewter Live and the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week. The latter related to accessories she designed for fashion designer Niamh O’Connor, also featured in the Chinese magazine Yoho! She progressed, as a parttime student, to the MA course which she completed in 2011. Hannah’s new work explores the concept of the
97
inner child through extensive material experiment, colour and composition; creating pieces that have a playful personality and aesthetic. She now looks forward to a career in the international contemporary jewellery arena.
