Maker info: I am a Sussex based silversmith who creates detailed objects, pictures, and jewellery inspired by nature. I see nature as a fabric that covers and protects the earth and flowers as not only a decorative detail but essential, bringing us joy as well as life. I enjoy recreating flowers in sterling silver through the use of construction techniques, capturing each flowers unique intricacies. I am also passionate about floral patterns, and how textile techniques transfer into metal. Combined these aspects are bringing structure, texture, layers, repetition, floral designs and lace like qualities into my work.
