Jed Buttress

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne-and-Wear, UK

Skills:I have studied for five years as a fine artist, adopting a wide array of mediums in order to create inventions of my own. I am adept in the Adobe creative suite, numerous digital 3D design softwares, and have a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art, with a specialism in sculpture. I have experience with working with children and elderly people in workshop environments within communities and schools in the North of England. In addition to this, I have collaborated with medical researchers and patients.

I am a sculptor, detective and inventor, who makes and finds objects in order to tell stories. I enjoy making work in response to research, local folklore and childhood curiosity. My projects aim to entertain and spark the imagination of viewers of all ages, inspiring the child in all of us.
