My name is Lydia Kinzett and I will be a Decorative Arts graduate specialising in ceramics. I have always had an interest in human nature, what we do and how we look doing it. This has greatly inspired my graduate collection where I have focused on what the average person got up to in the past year during the pandemic. Whilst representing a broad range of diverse characters, I also feel it is important to tell the everyday stories and celebrate what makes us human, this is what helps us to connect with one another especially in a time where we have all felt so isolated. In the future, I would like to continue to further explore the ceramic medium, illustration and character design.
