Minisite for rachel carter

Rachel Carter designs and creates sculptural pieces for the garden or landscape setting, using mild steel and willow.

A graduate of Derby University from the 3D Sustainable Design and Practice program, she mixes her love of art and design, with her passion for the garden and the environment.

Inspiration for her work comes from the plants within her own garden and trips to botanical gardens and the English countryside. Nature creates beautiful fluid shapes and this finds its way into the shapes that she creates with willow and mild steel.

Rachel's studio/workshop is based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire with four other designer/makers to create the collective group Shed 2 Studios.
