Morwenna Farrell – Interview

Illustrator, artist and maker Morwenna Farrell chats family, fishermen, film and finding her passion.     1. Do you think growing up in Cornwall has helped shape the kind of work you do?

How did you end up being a master of so many different craft skills? Sometimes I think I diversify too much! As a teenager I was forever making my own clothes and accessories, so when it came to further education, I did a Fashion Diploma. I then went on to study an HND in Theatrical Costume at London College of Fashion, and started work making dance costumes in London. Embroidery was a part of that and as the industry evolved I was soon digitizing for computer embroidery too. This led on to an interest in digital and motion graphics, so I finally did my degree in Animation followed by a Masters. So to cut a long story short, I’ve always been somewhat of a multi-tasker, eager to experiment with different techniques and media. My business has been the perfect platform to bring everything together under the name Miss Ella. At the moment I’m also […]
