About the tutor: Beth is a self-taught concrete casting artist who works from her garden studio in Hitchin. She produces small homeware pieces in small batch repeat casting. This production process involves creating silicone moulds from original products she creates from a variety of mediums.
Her products are stocked in over 50 small independent retailers across the UK and the USA. She works in a sustainable way and her studio is almost entirely zero waste making her work a popular choice for eco-friendly and ethical customers. Her influences for products come from her love of brutalist architecture and her desire to create timeless, slow-made, products to last a lifetime.
