Details
I use traditional silver-smithing techniques to fabricate my pieces. Being able to create bespoke individual pieces is such a joy. My designs are continuously evolving from the design process through to the development of my own techniques and the making of some of my hand tools.
An artist is many things, it means something different to all artists depending on their inspiration and the medium and method they to choose to use. For me its about having the freedom to be creative without constraint, to be free to let your piece evolve in a way thats representitive of you as an individual artist using your skill set to ellaborate .
My aim is to offer an alternative to high street jewellery. My main focus is to create something different. I work predominantly in sterling silver and have all my work assayed at Birmingham assay office. I am based in the idyllic loacation of Hanley Childe in Worcestershire, I lovingly design and create all my pieces on site in my rural studio.
I began my love of design and craft many years ago at Art College. Many Years later, quite by chance I untertook silver-smithing classes.
My love of jewellery making from that moment on was firmly established and I was absolutely hooked. I cant imagine ever persuing anything other than being a designer/maker now.
