Ann Catrin Evans BA (Hons) studied Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics, and has
since been designing and meticulously making functional and sculptural artwork,
for private and public clients for 14 years. A wide variety of work, including:
- jewellery, sculpture, lighting, furniture, and taking on large-scale projects
for public art commissions.With a boldness of design, the work is either hot

Balance, proportion and simplicity are the key features in her work; it has a
powerful strength and visual impact.
Commission:
Throughout the WMC interior features such as doors, balconies, and other articulation have been designed to relate to each other as a ‘family’ in style and quality. These features require furnishing like any other and WMC is looking to devise a similar ‘family’ of door furniture including handles, with which to embellish them. Specific and careful consideration should be given to the function of door furniture, especially on auditorium doors, for potential snagging due to the volume of visitor and user traffic
Ann Catrin Evans created:
External Handles 26 pairs
External Push Plates 16 pairs
Auditorium Handles 60 pairs
