| Introduction | Welcome to my blog. I make ethical jewellery using fairtrade and recycled precious metals and gemstones. My workshop is in the heart of the South Downs National Park, Sussex, near Midhurst, in England. I have been quietly obsessed with metals precious and otherwise from a very early age, and I followed a blacksmithing journeyship where I learned the fantastic craft of forging steel and iron with some of the most amzingly skilled blacksmith masters in the UK. My background in artist blacksmithing and large scale metalwork has had a strong influence on the way I work with precious metals, and I love chunky textured silver best of all! I work mostly to commission, making unique pieces for customers and I send my work worldwide. |
