Kate Michelle is a masters graduate from UCE Birmingham School of Jewellery. Through researching line, texture and form with wire as a medium, a line of thread is created which when manipulated makes a personal, individual and uniquely patterned surface, inspiring irresistibly tactile collections. Investigations into the combination of wire diameter and needle size have lead to creating a durable hand knitted fabric that can be manipulated into stunning, quirky designs. It is unique in its strength while giving the illusion of fragility. The latest collection by Kate Michelle is a set of intricate sculptural birds. Each one has their own distinct character and is mounted on driftwood or stones sourced in the Dorset countryside and beaches
