Natasha Ratcliffe: Fine Art BA(Hons) graduate
The access to facilities, equipment and knowledge from across so many departments, was invaluable. I used darkrooms from the Photography department, tools and resources from 3D Design, and of course the Fine Art workshops.
BA(Hons) Fine Art - 2001-2004
Since graduating in 2004, Natasha has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of medal and coin design. Her work has been exhibited and sold worldwide, displayed in the British Museum and might even be found even in your pocket; her Olympic 50p piece designs were selected from over 30,000 entrants, then made by the Royal Mint as legal tender, to celebrate the 2012 London Games.
"The access to facilities, equipment and knowledge from across so many departments, was invaluable. I used darkrooms from the Photography department, tools and resources from 3D Design, and of course the Fine Art workshops. The technicians’ knowledge was also invaluable; they were skilled in so many areas that they could approach problems in ways I wouldn't have even considered. This was crucial in helping me develop my technical skills. I learned casting techniques, modelling skills and foundry work which I still use today."
