If Amber could be any colour, she’d be sunset orange.
Warm, bright and inspired by nature, it’s a colour you’ll often find in the artwork she creates at Unisson’s Blue Apple Art Studio in St Ives.
Amber has a love for creativity and enjoys exploring different ways to bring her ideas to life. She loves the opportunity to experiment with colours, textures, materials and techniques.
And when it comes to creating something new, Amber isn’t afraid of a challenge!
A Little Fairy House and a Big Achievement
One of Amber’s proudest creations is a handmade clay fairy house.
It was a project that called for patience, problem-solving and plenty of attention to detail. Working with clay, Amber explored how to shape and bring the different elements of her fairy house together.
Like many creative projects, it wasn’t always straightforward. There were challenges to work through, techniques to practise and decisions to make along the way.
But that was part of the experience.
Seeing her finished fairy house was a proud moment for Amber, knowing how much time, effort and creativity she’d put into making it.
It’s also one of the things that makes working with clay so interesting. An idea can start small and gradually take shape through experimenting, learning and trying different approaches.
Exploring Creativity
For Amber, pottery and collage are particular favourites.
Working with different materials gives her the chance to try new things, explore her creativity and discover what she enjoys making.
And with other artists working on their own projects around her, there’s always something happening in the studio, whether it’s a new technique to learn, a different material to experiment with or another creative idea taking shape.
The Excitement of Seeing Her Work on Display
While Amber enjoys the process of creating her artwork, there’s another part of being an artist that she particularly looks forward to: exhibitions.
Blue Apple artists have opportunities to share their creations with the wider community through art exhibitions, giving people the chance to see and appreciate the work happening in the studio.
For Amber, seeing her own artwork displayed in a gallery is something special.
After spending time developing an idea, choosing materials and working on the details, she gets to see the finished piece alongside the work of other artists.
And knowing that people have come to see what she’s created makes the experience even better.
As Amber explains:
“I feel excited to see what I have done and I like to know that people come to the gallery to see what I have made.”
It’s a lovely insight into what Amber enjoys about sharing her creativity with others.
Plenty More to Create
From her love of sunset orange to her handmade fairy house, Amber brings her own interests, ideas and personality to the artwork she creates.
With new materials to explore, techniques to learn and future exhibitions to look forward to, there are plenty more opportunities for Amber to keep creating and sharing her work.
And that’s part of what makes Blue Apple such a great place for artists. Everyone brings something different to the studio, with their own ideas, interests and ways of creating.
We’re looking forward to seeing what Amber comes up with next!
