CARA SANDYS

Being half Australian Cara has spent a lot of time in Australia and initially started her art related career by selling Aboriginal art in the UK. However her real aspiration was to find a way of becoming self employed in both countries. So ten years ago, having made jewellery as a sideline, Cara decided to give up the day job and become a professional maker.

Cara’s work is now exhibited and sells at many galleries in the South of England and in Melbourne, Australia.

Each item is hand cut with scissors from pieces of multi coloured thermoplastic. It is heated to fuse the pieces together and to create a silk like finish. Every piece is different and reflects her love of warmth, colour and the sea. Lightweight and affordable they make ideal gifts.
