Bilston Craft Gallery Showcase

A selection of my latest jewellery collection 'Ruffles' is on display at Bilston Craft Gallery from 15th March until 4th June. The inspiration behind the collection is one of the latest fashion trends of folding: pleats and gathers are reinterpreted in silver using corrugation and microfolding. These techniques allow to achieve a great variety of forms with minimal use of precious metal. It has a fresh look and blends well with the new designs in fashion.

The Cable Tree Project


I was involved in a project by BTCV Vinvolved an organisation which provides exciting volunteering opportunities for young people aged 16-25 covering the whole of the Dudley Borough to create a Cable Tree message board for Summit House Support - a charity providing a safe environment for people affected by and living with HIV/AIDS in Dudley and Sandwell.
It happened on 21 January with a group of six very hard working volunteers from the Glasshouse College in Stourbridge. My role was to provide them with artistic guidance, teach them new skills and inspire them to see and use materials in a new conext.
