Your teacher
Hi, my name is Claire, and I’m an artist/crafter/designer based in NW London. I run ‘Dotty by design’ making unique and bespoke hand-made products. I have been up-cycling for two decades now, and sharing my love for all things ‘craft’ through teaching and running classes. Creativity is at the heart of all the projects I work on, harnessing the joy in the making process and sharing my passion of ‘re-using, recycling and sustaining’ in everything I do.I studied Furniture and Product design at BCUC in High Wycombe before moving to West London and working at Habitat, where my love of design had first evolved when visiting the store as a child. Since those early years, I have been on a creative journey which has encompassed all areas of art and design, including - product, craft, interiors, architecture, food, jewellery, illustration and printmaking to name but a few! I am very much a multidisciplinary designer, where a balance of form and function is key to creating engaging sustainable products that have a conscience, and considered thought for the beautiful planet we live on.
