I made a miniature me. Had so much fun doing all the tiny details, particularly fond of the tiny earrings and nose ring 🤓 #stopmotion #characterdesign #stopmotionpuppet #maquette #selfportrait #cosclay #cosclaysculpture #miniatureart

NEW WORK! Go behind the scenes on our latest commercial work made in collaboration with BBH London and The Sweetshop. Handmade over 12 weeks, our stop-motion scenes capture the push and pull of modern living; from chaotic commuting to late night computing, we visualise the hidden pressures felt by a miraculous multitasking matriarch.

Now I’m back home from all the craziness of the weekend, huge Congratulations to @deanatta @bazsells and @germanbenjack for their BAFTA win for @twoblackboysinparadise ❤️ I had the best time being able to attend with the crew and the fabulous @diane_dwyer_design . It was great to celebrate with everyone and feel very proud to have been a part of making this film. You guys deserve all the love and recognition for this incredible achievement ❤️ #bafta

The third day of Polymer Week 2025 was warm, inspiring, and emotional. ❤️ At the end of the day, when the classes finished, we all sat together to say thank you to everyone involved — speakers, teachers, team members… What a dream it was to share one place with all of you! 🌿 See you in 2026?

It’s been a little while since I got back from the Czech Republic for @polymerweek . The whole thing was such a lovely experience and I feel really blessed to have been asked to teach and to have met such wonderful people. I’d really like to thank @lucystruncova and everyone who organised the event, the people who took part in my class and everyone else who just made the whole time so full of joy ❤️ Also my fellow teachers, you guys were just the best 🥰 @julia_sculptor @debbiecrothers @sarahmillefiori @joy_as_a_gift #polymerweek #polymerclay

The second day of #PolymerWeek2025 was obviously all about polymer clay! 🥳 Attendees arrived in the morning and got to open the long-anticipated goodie box filled with amazing clay products from our dear sponsors (thank you to all of you!). And then? The classes with our teachers began. 🎉 Within eight hours, everyone managed to create spectacular jewelry or sculptures — each unique and original in its own way. ❤️

@andybellart taught a fascinating class at Polymer Week 2025, and at the end of each day, we saw incredible characters come to life in the hands of our attendees who traveled from around the world to learn from him. ❤️ Excited to join us next year? Run to 👀

BTS making of the peacock for @one_6th @deanatta ‘Two Black Boys in Paradise’ The puppet was made using a combination of technique’s. Some parts being hard sculpted pieces and others being soft felt. The needle felting was used to seamlessly blend the colours of the birds feathers and hand embroidery using metallic thread to add detail and sparkle. It was very time consuming but very worth it✨🦚 #stopmotionanimation #stopmotionpuppet #animation #needlefelt #twoblackboysinparadise #one6th

This is the peacock maquette I sculpted a few years back for the lovely guys @one_6th for their film ‘ Two Black Boys in Paradise’ The film is based on the poem by @deanatta and is truly a beautiful piece. Feel very blessed to have been asked to be a part of it. Check out @one_6th for info on screenings and announcements and try to see the film if you can! Scroll to the end to see the maquette next to the final puppet. #stopmotion #puppetmaking #maquette #sculpture #twoblackboysinparadise
