Connecting with nature
- • Shannon creates 3D pressed flower sculptures
- • It takes her 6 weeks to create a flower sculpture
- • Her South African heritage is her biggest inspiration
Shannon Clegg grew up among the flora of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, where after schooling she trained to be a tailor. After a brief stint in fashion, Shannon realised she had “issues with the ethics of production in the industry” so packed her bags for London, hoping to discover different contexts for making. She went on to take a Bachelor's in Contemporary Crafts at Falmouth University in Cornwall and a Master's in Product and Furniture Design at Kingston University in London. Shannon’s work looks to innovate traditional craft processes to create objects that connect people to nature. Inspired by the traditional craft technique of 2D flower pressing she created a unique method to transform flower material into elegant, standalone vase-like sculptures.
