Graduating from Kingston College of Art with a BA Hons Degree in Fashion Design, Elinor Lamond worked for several design and retail companies before striking out on her own. After eight years of running her own shoe design business, she became disillusioned with the fashion industry and decided to pursue her abiding interest in ceramics. She started making and selling her own work while employed at Liberty, regent Street, initially on the shop floor and later as a buyer for the British Craft Room and the Card & Wrap Department. She began working at Trelowarren for Cornwall Crafts shortly after her move to Cornwall in 2002. She now manages the Gallery at Trelissick Elinor’s current work – handmade ceramic beads in an array of shapes and colours, ingeniously linked together to create a collection of unique and eye catching jewellery demonstrates her individual and imaginative approach to her craft.
