In 2002 I graduated from the London Guildhall University with a BA in Silversmithing, Jewellery and Allied Crafts. Since then I have worked in The Bead Shop Covent Garden where I gained valuable knowledge working with a range of techniques and materials. I was also fortunate enough to find a like minded soul in Emma. We started the Basic Beading Classes in 2006 and have had an excellent response to them.
During this time I have continued to make and sell my own jewellery in boutiques in London, Somerset and Dorset. My work is predominantly inspired by colour and form and I find great satisfaction in working with a diverse range of materials.
Each piece I make is unique, using a range of semi precious beads, swarovski crystals, fresh water and swarovski pearls and glass beads. Due to the nature of the material, the pieces may vary from the photographs. I mainly work in sterling silver or gold filled/ vermeil*.
I accept commissions, re-stringings and make wedding jewellery to order.
