My training consisted of a three year jewellery course at Epsom School of Art in the mid seventies, winning an award in the 1977 De Beers 'Diamonds Tomorrow' competition. I have been designing and creating jewellery, mainly in silver, ever since. |
Colour
is a strong element in my work. I tended to use blue with the use of turquoise
and lapis lazuli, now other colours are getting a strong showing. Originally
my work had repeated geometric shapes in my designs,which I enamelled.Then
with the addition of Precious Metal Clay I found the designs tend to have
a freer, more organic structure, which contrasts with the geometric shapes.
I still used enamel to add colour to the silver, for example, creating stars,
dots and zig-zags on my rings. My new addition to my jewellery is making
my own glass beads giving me freedom to use colours and shapes I want,and
producing a totally handmade piece of jewellery. I love trying out different
materials,and seeing the colour and fun in them:felt ,fused glass,coloured
wire and resin.The result is combining different media to create an complete
piece of jewellery,which each media fits in and brings out the other,such
as felt and glass,or a plain blue bead come to life with other colours such
as lime green glass and silver.I am now experimenting with patination of
bronze and copper beads made by me to get lovely blues and greens. To add to all this I have been teaching my various skills at workshops which has been rewarding and enjoyable. |

I now have expanded to having 2 studios:a jewellery and glassbead studio. |
