Kate Colin

Hello! I am paper artist and designer based in Scotland, UK. I work with origami and folded forms to create bold and colourful lighting and homewares. I am interested in three dimensional geometric form and my range of unique designs are created through intricate scoring and folding techniques through which I explore how light, colour and geometry interact.
I have exhibited at the London Design Fair, Marseille (France) and had solo shows at the Manchester Craft and Design Centre and The Lighthouse in Glasgow. I have been teaching the art of paper folding for over five years and have taught both privately and with organisations such as the Barbican, the DCA and Cockpit Arts in London. I am regularly commissioned by private clients and interior designers and have made lighting for numerous cafes, restaurants and public venues.
