Emily is a contemporary maker exploring shape and form through precious materials. Her jewellery has a strong graphic aesthetic, combining minimal, empty space with areas of intricate detail. Inspiration comes from observing her environment; from industrial buildings through to fields and cliff tops. Pared back line, texture, pattern and colour are central to her practice, and through making she strives to create and share work that resonates. Every piece is made by hand in her studio at Cockpit Deptford, London. Emily has a degree in Three Dimensional Crafts (wood, metal, ceramics and plastics) from the University of Brighton. This was followed by a postgraduate course at the prestigious Bishopsland Educational Trust. She has completed a number of master classes since to hone and expanded her skills. Emily has exhibited widely, from Goldsmiths’ Fair to MAD About Jewelry in New York. Her jewellery has been stocked by TOAST, San Francisco MOMA, Contemporary Applied Arts and the Scottish Gallery.
