I am an award winning contemporary silversmith jeweller based in Norfolk, creating designs from conception through to completion.

For more information on me and my work, the who why where, please read my journal entry from January 2024 HERE

Architecture is at the core of all of my designs. Inspired by the texture and forms of C20th Industrial Brutalist structures, I create timeless, tactile functional objects designed to be enjoyed for generations. With an emphasis on weight and gravity, a pleasure to hold and interact with, my designs are created with integrity. I exclusively use recycled materials.

With a BA Hons in Silversmithing, Goldsmithing and Jewellery (UCA) and an MA in Creative Entrepreneurship with distinction (UEA), I continuously strive to develop my technical skills and creative designs, progressing my practice with regular training under master silversmiths. I split my time between working on my own practice, creating designs in my workshop, and teaching silversmithing and jewellery to all levels.

Silversmithing is an endangered craft, which I feel a custodian of. I enjoy helping others to find a love of silversmithing too, to help keep the historic craft alive.

It’s that connection between the head and the hands; you design something, you create it, you put your heart and soul into it. You have a relationship with the silver, you go through highs and lows together. As the design evolves its personality starts to shine through. Creating something which didn’t previously exist, with your own hands, and knowing it will last for generations, centuries and beyond is something I am incredibly proud of.”
