How would you describe the work you do and why?: 

Firedrake Jewellery is a part-time business. We continue to learn and learn to create, always striving for a different angle and using unusual materials or those materials that have fallen out of fashion over the years. We include Britannia Silver, Mokume Gane, Niobium, Titanium, Jet and leather amongst our repertoire.

For you what does being an artist mean?: 

Being an artist means freedom. Freedom to create and pursue ideas both in design and fabrication that may have been underused, forgotten or never combined before.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?: 

We are Firedrake Jewellery based above Ewyas Harold on the Common. Specialising in wearable art, affordable and timeless jewellery from different genres. As well as creating our one off pieces for stock and general sales we also have a commissioning service that mainly caters for reusing pre-worn jewellery and remaking it into a new piece.

Your practice & activities include e.g workshops, teaching: 

As well as providing a new and remade/remanufactured jewellery services we also provide occasional workshops for chain weaving and day long taster training days for anyone interested in "having a go" and delving into the world of making silver jewellery.

CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice: 

We have completed a number of day/few day workshops and training sessions with industry professionals as well utilising a constant provision of technical online training from reputable and professional sources.
