Ejing Zhang
ALL HIS/HER WORKSEjing Zhang graduated from the Royal College of Art with a MA in Textiles Design specialising in Mixed Media. She is highly influenced and driven by colour and texture which is seen in her work through an array of vibrant colour pallets, thought out material combinations and pattern creations. She has had work experience with prestigious companies like Mercedes Benz
Advanced Design Studio, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen etc.
The studio of Ejing Zhang was founded in 2014 and based in central London- Cockpit Arts Holborn.
Through the combination of thread, wood and resin, Ejing Zhang Studio creates intricate jewellery by highlighting a cross section of the mixed media resin tile, revealing its abstract and detailed core. All the tiles are hand poured and finished in their London based studio making each and every piece completely unique.
This unusual process was spotted by WGSN (Worth Global Style Network) in 2013 when Zhang was commissioned to create the trophies for the Global Fashion Awards held in the Victoria and Albert Museum London.
Ejing Zhang Studio is excited about collaborations and experiments, so if you have any ideas or thoughts, or just want to say hello, please do get in touch we’d love to hear from you! -
