Category Sundial Designer/Maker, Engraver
Region East
Joanna Migdal was educated at Ealing College of Art, after which she obtained a seven year apprenticeship in the studio of sculptors Edwin Russell FRBS and Lorne McKean FRBS. Some time later, while working as a journeyman, she was asked to calculate and make a sundial. It proved to be everything she loved doing: sculpture, engineering, metalwork, mathematics and calligraphy.
She has now spent 25 years devising, hand-making and hand-engraving sundials (and other related sculptural pieces). Commissions have come from important public institutions and private individuals throughout the world.
Joanna is a Liveryman of both the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers and of the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers of London.
