Ane Christensen

"I am often asked 'When did you know you wanted to be a maker?'" says metal artist Ane Christensen. "It's the wrong question!

The London based metal artist explains "If you are a maker, you are born a maker - it's an incredible urge. It is more what happens if I don't make. It was really a question of what to make and what material."

Growing up in Denmark until the age of 21, Christensen describes having her eureka moment when she moved to England to study goldsmithing, the ancient craft of making objects from precious materials. Drawn to working with metal, Christensen had a sudden "That's it, that's me!" - metal was her material.
