After starting her career in furniture making, constructing bespoke commissions for her clients, Jayne Tarasun went on to study Fine Art at Cheltenham College of Art, where she specialized in printmaking.
In 1995 she won the Gane Travel Scholarship, which allowed her to study in Barcelona. Jayne has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and she currently works from her studio in Cornwall.
In 2006, Jayne embarked on an MA course in design at UCF, where the seeds of her Folly business were starting to germinate. One year later she decided to focus her energy into `Folly-Smith’ designing, manufactureing and exhibiting her first prototype in Autumn 2007.
This has been viewed by thousands of people and is on display at the Trevarno Gardens in Cornwall. Jayne also designs bespoke, site specific follies tailored to her clients needs.
