Ellina Pollitt

Ellina Pollitt, a 3D Designer-maker specialising in jewellery, graduated from Staffordshire University in 2019 and recently completed her Master’s in Jewellery and Related Products at Birmingham City University. Her artistic vision is a fusion of influences drawn from the groundbreaking designs of Zaha Hadid’s architecture, the avant-garde fashion of Iris Van Herpen, the innovative creations of Gareth Pue, and the whimsical style of Tatty Devine jewellery.

Her visual style is characterised by its bold and impactful nature, employing repeated organic lines to create pieces that command attention. This aesthetic is not only visually striking but also serves to convey a sense of scale and significance. Ellina’s approach to her craft is collaborative in nature, engaging with peers, industry colleagues, and third-sector organisations.

Ellina’s involvement in collaborative initiatives includes contributing to the creation of the ceremonial mace for Staffordshire University in 2018 and crafting a collection of ceramic butterflies for the Donna Louise Trust in 2019. The latter project saw the pieces being sold in Trentham Gardens, Staffordshire, showcasing the impact of art within communities.

Looking forward, Ellina aspires to establish her own fashion jewelry brand specialising in large-scale body adornments. Her goal is to transcend traditional boundaries and create pieces that are not just accessories but expressions of individuality and artistry. Through her work, she aims to push the boundaries of conventional jewellery design, offering a unique perspective that challenges and transcends the norm.

In essence, Ellina’s artistic journey is a continuous exploration of form, collaboration, and impact. Her creations invite viewers to engage, question, and appreciate the fusion of inspiration and innovation that defines her artistic expression. With a passion for pushing boundaries, Ellina aspires to leave a lasting imprint on the world of fashion jewellery, offering a unique and thought-provoking perspective.
