Emily Frances Barrett

As an illustration student at art school, Londoner Emily Frances Barrett eventually found herself moving beyond 2D forms to create puppets, miniature machines, and dioramas—which eventually gave way to prop-making and set designing on photoshoots.

Later she earned an MA at Central Saint Martins in fashion communication, and then realized it was jewelry making that she was drawn to all along. Describing herself as “an artist that makes jewellery,” she’s currently an artist in residence at Sarabande, the Alexander McQueen Foundation.
