Charlotte Kidger is a London based UK Maker (b 1992). Kidger graduated from Leeds College of Art (2014) and Central Saint Martins (2018) and has a background in Colour and Material Design. Her practice is led with a hands-on approach to investigating how industrial waste materials can be reprocessed and transformed into sculptural and functional objects. As an experimental material-led designer her work is driven by the urge and curiosity to transform often unwanted and valueless materials into desirable and functional objects.
