Carrie Burke

Dip A&C (Hons)

I am a NZ Jeweller and Artist. Growing up on a farm in the Wairarapa I have always had an affinity for being 'outdoors'.  A move to Wellington as a teenager enabled me to also fall in love with the vibrancy of the city. Nature is truly the most magnificent designer ever and a source of constant inspiration for me.  At heart, I am a sculptor and I enjoy treating paint as another material in the toolbox!

I graduated from the The Learning Connexion in 2007 and loved my time there, it was during this time that I discovered the joy of molten metal, it was a totally unexpected thrill for me and I was hooked on the process right from the start.
