contemporary silver jewellery and brass/copper designs
I design and make unique pieces of contemporary silver jewellery, and one off copper/brass wall hangings, objets d'art.
Twenty years ago I attended a silversmith/jewellery design course run by jeweller and designer Marianne Ridge at Yale College, Wrexham. Whilst living in Chester, I set up a jewellery/painting workshop and sold my work through Oriel Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno. I have also exhibited at the Brighton Open House studios, the Grosvenor Museum in Chester and Cambridge Open Studios. I now work from home in my workshop in Cottenham.
Exploring textures/shapes and how to apply the results is what drives and inspires me.
