Claire Stockings-Baker

Claire Stockings-Baker spent her childhood immersed in the Cornish landscape. Her connection with nature was created at an early age, with her love of exploring stormy beaches and gnarly woodlands. Those early influences, formed a firm foundation for Claire’s creative practice. Community, nature and creativity are the golden threads that run throughout Claire’s life. Claire studied at Falmouth School of Art, Winchester School of Art and The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Claire now lives back in her homeland Cornwall, where she creates nature inspired jewellery, paints, prints, and runs Little Ferns Creative Children’s Workshops.

Jewellery Art

Claire creates organically handcrafted individual pieces of art, which are often described as wearable sculpture. Claire also draws inspiration and techniques from her costume background. Each piece of jewellery is approached sensitively, concentrating on intricate detailing, with no casting involved in the creative process. Claire works intuitively with the metal, she sculpts with a blow torch, etches textures and forges with handmade tools, ensuring that each piece is worn as a story upon the wearer’s skin.

Painting

Claire paints her inner landscape, sensitively intertwining the outside world with her own reality. Amongst her materials, Claire uses hand ground natural pigments, and hand created mark making tools.
