Isla Cruickshank completed a Ba (Hons) Silversmith and Jewellery degree at The Glasgow School of Art in 2020. She entwines this technical training with inherited culinary interests and her experience as a freelance cook, questioning the possibilities of food as a material and value in produce beyond consumption. Her process is an ongoing conversation between her role as a Maker and a Cook and acknowledges the presence and transferability of craft between the kitchen and the studio by creating life cycles and conversations from produce, plate, object and experience. She is based in Glasgow and started and.ilc in the summer of 2020.
