This Friday, our craft film is a beautiful and haunting piece which features the work of Patricia Neimann.

Patricia Niemann is goldsmith and glass designer/maker, who primarily creates body adornment. Based in a studio in Caithness, she exhibits nationally and internationally and also works as an instructor at North Lands Creative Glass.

Her most recent work is based on her experiences of the Far North of Scotland: The beauty, relentless weather, ancient history - and themes of decay, human burial and mortuary archaeology. 

The film was created by Catherine Weir for Making Progress 2011, a HI-Arts mentoring project for mid career makers which Patricia participated in.

You can see Patricia's work in her solo exhibition Blood & Bones at Broadfield House Glass Museum, Kingswinford, which runs until 05 August 2012.
