About
Naomi is a puppet maker and sculptor. Her work has a particular quality due to the disciplines that she has trained in: portrait sculpture has equipped her with the ability to capture a likeness and figure proportions with accuracy; anatomical artwork has developed representational and communicative skills that speak to a range of audiences; scientific model making has honed mould making and casting skills to tackle complex spatial problems. She enjoys working on all aspects of creating Rod Puppets and Marionettes, from wood carving and costume making to joint making and armature building.
Naomi was introduced to the importance of natural materials and their use by her father, a Master Thatcher based in East Anglia. She is passionate about the importance of tactility and its role in teaching. Naomi teaches character sculpture at degree level, and runs workshops for a variety of audiences. Naomi is committed to sustainability and enjoys using natural and environmentally friendly materials wherever she can.
