Dr. Maria McLennan – The Craft of Forensics: Forensics, Jewellery, and Facial Reconstruction.
Dr Maria Maclennan, is an award-winning academic researcher, designer, and forensic artist. Originally from the Black Isle, Maria is currently a Senior Lecturer in Jewellery and Silversmithing at The University of Edinburgh.
Her work as the world’s first ‘Forensic Jeweller’ involves carefully dissecting jewellery’s role in a variety of forensic and criminal contexts, following the trail of clues that objects leave behind on both the body and at crime scenes.
Drawing upon her work with international police and investigative agencies across the globe, Maria will invite the audience to put on their detective hat, pick up their jeweller’s loupe, and embark on a true-crime adventure using jewellery as an investigative lens. Maria will also touch upon the intricate process of craniofacial reconstruction, and how the power of art and science can combine to reconstruct faces of the deceased.
