About

Lacey Ferri is a craftsperson from upstate New York. She is a graduate of Houghton University, New York, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Art degree in studio arts, concentrating on ceramics and furniture design. Afterward, she volunteered for a year and a half on building restoration projects in Ireland, Scotland, and France. This hands-on experience and growing knowledge of traditional materials and their historical uses fired her curiosity for historical architectural interiors, fittings, and furniture and she became interested in surface ornamentation and design. She spent four years in Oxford, doing further study and freelance commissions of architectural drawings and prints for several colleges and the Bodleian Libraries.

In 2022 Lacey moved to London to study at The King’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts. She graduated in the summer of 2024 and now works in the applied arts using traditional methods of making. Today her work is about preserving traditions in craft, researching and recovering historical patterns and designs, and using natural, handmade and repurposed materials whenever possible. This includes handmade pigments, recycled wood, and plant-dyed papers.
