Maker's Story
Charlotte Kingsnorth is a pioneering designer & artist who studied the 'Design Products' course at the Royal College of Art, before setting up her own London-based practice.

Maker's Quote
“Inspired by the lichen that was growing on a railing near my studio, I embarked on a series of studies exploring its different forms. I then reinterpreted its growth and colours on bronze, which I have first formed into rudimental functional objects.”
The Process
Working closely with a patina specialist, Charlotte used lichen samples to inform her process, building layers of chemical compounds mixed with heat to tarnish the bronze and create depth on the surface of the metal.
