Iris Rimmaudo is an Italian artist with a rich background in traditional art and sculpture, having studied extensively in Italy. After moving to Edinburgh, I continued my artistic journey, blending traditional techniques with contemporary design principles. Recently graduating in product design, I have developed a passion for exploring various media in my work. I believe in the importance of having fun and embracing comfort in the creative process, and I strive to inspire my students to do the same.
