About Professor Maelstromme

My Shop;   http://www.ProfMaelstromme.etsy.com

I enjoy making one of kind wearable pieces of art.  I am a metal smith, a leather worker and a found object artist influenced by rust, patinas, Victoriana, old museums, gothic and curiosities.

Amanda  is well known clothing and jewellery designer whose work defies easy definition. After attending two art colleges to study textiles, jewellery design and jewellery production, Amanda’s work became inspired by the shadowy side of Victorian England. As her creator persona, Professor Maelstromme, she crafts items in her laboratory which will bring to mind romance by gaslight, arcane science, the steam age, carnival sideshow curios and aged materials from the tombs of Victorian England. All in all the professors curiosities have been hailed as imaginative oddities epitomizing the rich landscape of steampunk design.
