Welcome to my website which I hope will give you a taste of the jewellery I design and create from my West Cornwall smallholding.
 I am a designer maker of unique items of silver jewellery. The tactile as well as visual aspects of each piece are important in all my designs where simple line and form combine with strong textures and highlights to produce pieces that are both striking and easy to wear. The patterns and shapes of natural forms have a strong influence on my work.  My collection includes chunky organic and highly-tactile rings, earrings and bangles, hammered and riveted cuffs, pendants, delicate flower pin brooches and acid-etched & oxidised items. I work mainly in silver but often complement my designs with rose or yellow 9ct gold. Items are sent to The Birmingham Assay Office for hallmarking. All jewellery is hand-made in my barn-workshop which my husband and I managed to finish in time for the 2010 Cornwall Open Studios. I am always happy to take on individual commissions, working with you to design and create your own unique item. EVENTS IN 2012
You will find a selection of my jewellery all year round in the galleries listed below but I also attend several craft and design fairs and exhibitions throughout the year and aim to keep this website up to date with the latest information. In addition, I mail out detailed information on all my projected
events twice a year to a database of previous clients and interested persons! If you would like to be included on my mailing list
or would like more information on a specific event please contact me and leave me your details - full name and address or email is fine.I attended some extremely successful craft fairs last year and I hope to repeat that success again in 2012! Namely: Trereife House Fine Food and Craft Fairs at Easter and Christmas (dates to be confirmed) Trereife House CORNWALL DESIGN FAIR (previously Hidden Art) 17-19 August DESIGNS DIRECT fair held in St Ives in aid of Cornwall Hospice Care a few weeks before Christmas. None of these have yet been confirmed and I intend to try different venues as well this year. In addition, one of my main events will be OPEN STUDIOS CORNWALL which takes place during the Whitsun holiday. In 2011 I had a lovely mixture of new, mainly local visitors and old customers. A few took the opportunity to look around my smallholding at my lambs, pigs, chickens and recently planted woodland. If you missed the event this time around then there is always this year! We have just collected (on loan only) a new Tamworth boar called Roger to service our sows so we are looking forward hopefully to some new ginger piglets sometime in May.   I also hold an Open Studio event towards the end of November so that placed orders can be made in time for Christmas. Obviously, I will be updating this website with details as soon as I have confirmed my schedule. In the meantime, if you want to come along to my workshop where I have a reasonably good selection of my work or would like to discuss any specific requirement please go ahead and Contact me. To see and purchase pieces of my jewellery at other times, visit the beautiful Gallery on the Square, Island Square, St Ives and the renowned Roundhouse and Capstan Gallery in Sennen Cove where a range of both my silver and silver with gold designs is available. |
