Re-generated by Mel Campion, this nun’s ‘veil’ box has been transformed into a ‘working’ work of art,
and a piece which is easily the star of the space.
Non-mechanised hand techniques are used to achieve very intricately designed shellwork,
designed to suit the contours and character of the original piece.
