About Us
Behind The Scenes
Kirsten Hendrich is a designer maker based in Guildford, Surrey. Her work is handcrafted using techniques such as lost wax casting, doming, fusing, and granulating.
Kirsten studied at the University for the Creative Arts, London Metropolitan, and completed several short courses at Central Saint Martins; but it was her work experience placements with Donna Collinson, Beth Gilmour, Fire and Iron Gallery and Hannah Bedford, to name a few which provided her with a true understanding of professional practice, and taught her technical and business knowledge.
A key theme is Kirsten’s work is texture, and nature. She develops collections in her Guildford based workshop drawing upon forms she discovers on dog walks and on her daily travels which inspire her such as seedpods and lichen.
Kirsten’s collections have featured at the Apple Gallery in Godalming and were also an installation at Villa and Hut, Godalming from 2008-2009.
Her work is currently available to buy from her online shop and a collaborative collection with Donna Collinson is currently exhibited at top craft shows such as Desire.
Clients range from people looking for special gifts, wedding jewellery or for a special treat for themselves.
Also available within the online shop are prints by artist and illustrator Lisa Graa Jensen.
