I learnt the basics of jewellery making at an evening class in my home town of Derby, but am largely self-taught since then.  Now living and working in Newmarket, Suffolk, I work mainly in silver and use hammering, texturing and forging techniques to create simple, modern pieces.  Many of the beads and gemstones I use were inherited from Jose and her father, who worked as a gemstone importer on Bond Street, London.
 
I also work to commission, creating bespoke pieces for clients, and I carry out re-stringing and repair work.  For more information about these services please visit my commissions and re-stringing pages.
