Maker Spotlight: Felicity Jones

London-based blacksmith Felicity Jones creates organic, flowing forms that intersect with an element of danger, taking inspiration from insects, plants, symmetry in nature and man-made artefacts such as vehicle parts and machinery. She uses a mixture of traditional and contemporary techniques to form modern art works, making anything from functional fire pits to artwork for Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage.

She says:

“I think more women are seeing that blacksmithing is something everyone can do. It’s more brain than brawn. Sometimes it’s more about having the idea and knowing how you can make it, rather than being some big strong person who can just hammer.”

Felicity studied Rhino Introduction to Intermediate at our sister school, London Software Training. It was a privilege to be part of her inspiring journey.
