These bud vases, created using eggshells, are designed for easy disassembly, allowing the body of the vase to biodegrade or be recycled.
By diverting nutrient-rich waste from landfills, Natalie’s work transforms ‘waste’ into useful, beautiful objects that can ultimately feed nutrients back into the soil, closing the loop in the circular economy.
Natalie’s work focuses on the circular economy, developing biodegradable materials from agricultural and food waste. Her craft-based approach explores open-source recipes for new materials, analysing their properties and production processes.
You can find more of Natalie’s work in our upcoming Made in the Middle exhibition, launching at Leicester Gallery, de Montford University, on 25 January 2025.
