Madeira-Revell ART

Hi, I’m Kirsten, a Somerset artist based in Shepton Mallet. My mum is Danish, and she taught me to weave my first paper star when I was three. Weaving stars is still the first sign of Christmas in our home, and I’ve been sharing the tradition with others ever since.
I work across installation, sculpture and community art, often using paper and other sustainable, home-made materials. I love myth, folklore and stories that show “the other side”, and I’m happiest when people join in and make something of their own. My installation Polaris (2024) brought together 75 woven stars as a tribute to my mother, and in 2026 I was awarded a Somerset Art Works Micro-Commission.
My workshops are relaxed and welcoming, with no experience needed, just a love of making something beautiful by hand.
