"Driven by a desire to create dynamic contemporary artworks I weave striking, three-dimensional structures using construction techniques derived from basketry. My practice includes wall pieces for interior spaces, site responsive installations and wearable structures."

Basketry Book
Stella is the co-author of 'Practical Basketry Techniques', commissioned by A&C Black and published in 2012.
Stella's work featured as a case study in 'BEAUTY IS THE FIRST TEST' - a travelling group exhibition curated by Liz Cooper exploring how mathematical concepts underpin craft practices and artistic developments. The exhibition opened at the National Centre for Craft and Design, Sleaford and travelled to Bilston Craft Gallery, Wolverhampton, Platform Gallery, Clitheroe and The National Craft Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland. See the experimental film by Electric Egg below.
'Hothouse'
In 2010 Stella was a selected maker for the first cohort of 'Hothouse', the Crafts Council's Development Programme for Emerging Makers.
