Showcase & Discover Creative Work

I'm a Portuguese Textile Jewellery and Accessories designer maker.​
I graduated in Sculpture from Fine Arts College of the University of Porto.
My interest in textile materials started in her last year of college, where i started developing soft sculptures.
Crafting emerged as a natural direction for me.
My work explores the boundaries between crafts and jewellery design. Random objects, food, toys, illustrations inspire her to create pieces, that I adress as little illustrations/ sculptures of childhood/cartoon/ fashion imaginary.
I recreate the objects ( wich i obsess about) and Itransform them into wearable pieces. ​​
My academic background is a clear influence wich is reflected in the tridimensional aspect of the accessories I makes all by hand.
​The combination of soft toys techniques in jewellery design , allows me to produce jewellery in any shape, with no restrictions and no concerns about weight and confort.
I am currently working in "The Fabulous Creations of Maria Filipe", a brand I created to make people smile.​
