PATTIE KNIGHTS
Pattie Knights is a botanical plaster cast artist living in Bradford-on-Avon. She combines her passion for nature and the positive impact it has on our mental well-being with her love of art. By creating beautiful casts of local wild flowers and foliage she is capturing the positive emotions like joy, calmness and contentment that nature evokes, bringing the outdoors in. Pattie presses the plants into clay to make an impression, pours over fine plaster of Paris and once dry removes the clay to reveal the cast capturing the plants incredible detail and immortalising their beauty. The cast is then hand finished and either left as natural plaster or lightly painted. Each individual cast is a one-off original and unique piece. This ancient technique was used by botanists in the days before cameras to record details of plant species.
