Using traditional hand skills and digital technology, Kathryn Hinton creates silverware and jewellery which includes boxes and vessels that explore emerging surfaces and faceted forms. Her pieces are realised in precious metal using 3D printing with lost wax casting and computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling with press forming.
Hinton studied jewellery and silversmithing on an undergraduate course at Kent Institute of Art and Design. She went on to postgraduate studies at Bishopsland Educational Trust and the Royal College of Art in London. After graduating in 2010, Hinton moved to Edinburgh to become artist in residence at Edinburgh College of Art. She continues to design and make jewellery and silverware for exhibitions, galleries and commissions from her workshop in Edinburgh.
