Jeni Wood

Jeni describes herself as a ‘maker’ rather than an artist. Her education and employment – Bath Arts School and then computing showed her interests in design, logic and in the detail of how things work. She did a mid-career Diploma in Art and Design at Bath College of Further Education (1991-94), to her surprise gaining the ‘Student of The Year’ award. It was a logical step to move into paper engineering (with Mathew Price Children’s Books) before going freelance. Child rearing led to toy making and garden sculptures. She likes to sculpt in clay, stone and wood. She also uses found objects and, of course, paper.
