Working from The Garden Studio on the Derbyshire / Nottinghamshire border, artist Rachel Carter works with hand processes and the ancient lost wax technique to create large scale public realm sculpture, alongside sculptures for home and garden.

Since graduating from the Sustainable Applied Arts degree Rachel has been driven by the application of hand weaving processes to create intricate textures and forms for sculpture. Using the lost wax casting technique, she continues to collaborate with Pangolin Editions foundry to push the boundaries of this craft form, combining historic textile techniques with new digital technologies.
