As a designer-maker, Christina Hirst has honed her visual and textural aesthetic carefully through focused research and practical exploration. The search for fluid organic qualities and sculptural form led her to investigate the specialist material, Precious Metal Clay. PMC consists of minute metal particles, suspended in an organic binder and water. With this Japanese innovation, she models delicate natural forms by hand, which transform into pure metal when fired in a kiln. Experimentation and designing through making are at the heart of her practice, allowing her freedom to create both bespoke and commercial ranges using similar techniques.
