Malene Barnett lives boldly. As the founder of the Black Artists + Designers Guild, Barnett has provided a dependable place designed to amplify the work and voices of Black creatives. And, now, the spotlight is on her — quite literally.
Recognized for her inspiring ceramics, Barnett is showcasing her craft by teaming up with home retailer Lulu & Georgia. Together the two developed the 'Kindred' collection — a celebration of "Black culture, joy and legacies together." With the inspiration dating back to her own travels throughout life.
“My work examines the relationship between handmade techniques and modern art and design. My experience working with textiles and ceramics has always been multidimensional. I never look at fabric as a flat surface, and I always bring three-dimensional elements to enhance the details. And it's the same philosophy I use when designing wallpaper or even working with clay," explains Barnett.
