The Coille* Woodland Collection is a collection of sterling silver and gold vermeil jewellery cast from foraged twig taken from Catriona's walks. This collection is inspired by the sanctuary Cat feels when spending time in deep forests, and she has handcrafted a selection of highly wearable pieces.
*Pronounced kool-ya (Scottish Gaelic).
Catriona’s work attempts to convey a strong sense of design and a distinctive style, whilst maintaining a minimal aesthetic. She is inspired by mycology, the sanctuary she finds walking in the woods and the textures of the natural materials around her. Catriona would describe herself as a maker first - a skilled craftswoman. She likes the process of making, and has spent the last 20 years honing her techniques. Catriona’s work tends to concentrate on clean, feminine shapes with coloured glass applications, while using modern cut glass decoration to add texture.
