I enjoy exploring surface decoration and pattern by working on different surfaces to impart texture or by using erosion. I take pleasure in staining the clay to introduce colour which contrasts beautifully against texture and the shiny silver surface. Working with clay is an essential part of each collection by introducing a pop of colour and experimenting with texture during the silversmithing process. My intention is to carry the mark making process from one craftsmen’s material into another to create a cohesive and individual collection of affordable jewellery. Inspiration comes from organic and found objects.
