Biography
Tamsin graduated from our BA Ceramic Design in 2007. Since then she's been very busy.
Settled in Prague and currently having first exhibition in a contemporary art gallery called Vernon. Show coming up in November in a design gallery in Belgium, Galerie Sofie Lachaert, busy making new pieces for that.
'Warped Light' bone china lanterns now in House of Fraser, as part of the relaunch of their lighting department. They appeared in House of Fraser Oxford Street a couple of weeks ago and should be in Glasgow, Manchester, Cheltenham and Bluewater any moment now.
Planning a new project and involved in the London Design Festival, probably with Designersblock, showing some existing projects.
Collaborating with a design group back in London called KithKin. Had a commission to make a small piece for the Crafts Council to appear along with Medical Heirlooms jars in a travelling show 'The Object as Muse', opening in Winchester.
Below is a list of exhibitions and press coverage since graduation (not including web-coverage). Highlights so far: Design Miami and 100% Design Tokyo. Get involved with designersblock!
