| Place of origin |
Julia Griffiths Jones studied textiles at the Winchester School of Art and then continued her textile practice at The Royal College of Art. On leaving the Royal College she won a British Council scholarship to draw and research folk art in Slovakia followed by two more scholarships to Hungary and Romania in 1982 and 1984. Influenced by her Eastern European surroundings her work gradually shifted from textiles to metalwork as she felt compelled to see and feel her drawings lift off the page. The results are an innovative, inventive and delicately examples of contemporary ironwork.
