Working & About me

This page is for works in progress as they happen, also its a chance to see a bit of my workshop.
 
 I am a designer working in my workshop when I can. I am also studying at and evening class at Julian Stephens in North Laine, Brighton  (http://www.julianstephens.com/)  I have been learning stone setting, and refining my technique. I have been working with mainly silver (when i started about 4 years ago (2008), the price of silver was 34p, (2011) now it is over £1 - and thats plus VAT).
 
I love working in silver and gold. I have also done cold enamelling and casting. I have sent some work to Weston Beamor (http://westonbeamor.co.uk/) who are a lovely and friendly firm who put up with my constant requests for updates.  I would recommend them totally to anyone.
 
I love to look at books and nature to find inspiration, some of my favourites are the Lark 500 Series (http://www.larkcrafts.com/500-series/ and http://www.larkcrafts.com/jewelry-beading/) - my personal favourites are the 500 Wedding Rings, 500 Rings, 500 Bracelets.
