'Flowers And Decorative Metal Artwork Handmade In Sussex, Inspired By Nature.'
With nature surrounding us, it is hard not to be inspired and the closer you look, the more intrinsically beautiful and unbelievably detailed you discover our world is. It comforts, inspires and enriches our lives. With the natural colour pallet of metals and the possible combinations of working and joining together elements of sheet, wire, rod and tubing. I create component parts which are then connected together into a final finished piece. I liken it to building a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, but one where you design and create all the pieces along the way. Through the use of different silversmithing techniques, I also interlace these constructed elements with the structure and flexibility found in pattern forming and textile designing.
All pieces are handmade by me in my workshop in Sussex. I hope you enjoy my pieces as much as I enjoy designing and making them....
