She began working at Trelowarren for Cornwall Crafts shortly after her move to Cornwall in 2002. She now manages the Gallery at Trelissick Elinor’s current work – handmade ceramic beads in an array of shapes and colours, ingeniously linked together to create a collection of unique and eye catching jewellery demonstrates her individual and imaginative approach to her craft.
