My jewellery is designed to be worn every day and on special days . I make each piece myself in my small workshop using traditional skills and materials.
My designs are inspired by the world around me and usually develop at the bench, led by the properties of the materials. I use copper with unleaded enamels which are kiln fired and I also work with sterling silver.
The Garden Collection pieces are inspired by the texture of leaves and the colours of the natural world. Leaf textures combine with the colours of vitreous enamel.
Coast pieces are inspired by the sea and the adjoining landscape. Mostly enamel on copper, I use two colour palettes – ‘Lichen’ has greys, turquoise and a splash of yellow whilst ‘Sea’ colours are deeper blues.
Colour is just that! Pops of colour to compliment whatever you choose to wear them with. Hotter colours sometimes produce their own darker patterns in the kiln which, fir me, adds to the unique appeal of enamel.
For me, the real joy of handmade jewellery is that every piece is slightly different – especially when working with enamels.
