Anna Brook

Carol's inspirations
Carol's jewellery often reflects her archaeological passion, particularly her explorations of prehistoric rock art. From the initial rock art jewellery collection inspired by the Bachwen burial chamber in North Wales to later pieces influenced by her travels through Italy, Galicia, and Norway, each creation tells a story.

Carol’s last collection, "Travellers Tales," is a testament to her adventurous spirit, inspired by the beauty she found while beachcombing for unique shapes and textures both in the UK and on her memorable trip to Thailand.

Very sadly Carol lost her long battle with cancer last year (2024). Despite her recent passing, Carol's legacy lives on through her exquisite designs that capture the essence of history, and the joy of the natural world. Her work remains a celebration of her passions, inviting everyone to wear a piece of art that is as meaningful as it is beautiful. Carol James will be remembered not only for her incredible talent but for the warmth and creativity she brought into the world.

Anna Brook, her sister, is on her own creative journey, retraining as a creature creator and puppet making. A deep love of the creatures we share our planet with, and those we imagine in our stories and dreams is fuelling Annas' 'mid life crisis' return to being a maker!
