Laura Potter is an experienced educator and materials-based practitioner with almost 30 years’ experience working on self-directed projects and supporting students. Originally trained as a jeweller, she has expanded her material inquiry to incorporate a wide range of research methods centred on craft: the pleasures, challenges, hierarchies, and expectations of making things by hand with deliberate and considered techniques. Grounded in postdisciplinarity, her work explores themes such as identity construction through personal and domestic artefacts, the creative life of a doppelgänger, and the material culture of nuclear souvenirs.
