I have been creating jewellery since I can remember, as a lucky child with endless bead collections!

I moved into silversmithing around 18 years ago learning, training, researching & lots of melted mistakes. There are many different processes which involve flames, acid, fine saws, and many other specific tools - including a dentist drill. I love getting out the lab coat & safety glasses which are familiar from my science background. 

I love learning new techniques as it is always a great challenge, requires lots of patience and can be immensely satisfying (also frustrating!) especially when there is a scented candle, hot coffee, acoustic music & no plan. I love to see where the creative energy flows.

My husband is not allowed to borrow my tools - but some times his are useful! 

The tool addiction is very real...
