The Beginning

HOW IT ALL STARTED

I started creating jewellery while pregnant with my first child — I had very little physical energy but a huge amount of creative energy, so I poured it all into making something with my hands.

I grew up in the British countryside before moving to Wales, and nature has always been my greatest inspiration. After exploring wood burning, wire wrapping and metal sheet work, I discovered metal clay by chance — and fell completely in love with it.

My partner gifted me Art Clay Silver for Christmas 2023, and I haven't stopped making since. The kiln lives in my little home workspace in Wales — and every piece is made with love, from start to finish.

Influences

WHAT SHAPES THE WORK

Nature

Growing up in the British countryside — leaves, botanicals, seasons and the quiet magic of the natural world shape everything I make

Ancient Worlds

Viking age, medieval Britain, Egyptian mythology — old jewellery from times long forgotten has always drawn me in

The Divine

Goddesses like Aphrodite, Isis and Hecate — and gods like Odin. Mythology, mystery and the stories that shaped human culture

Sustainability

KEEPING GAIA HAPPY

Metal clays are made from recycled metals — so every piece starts life as something else, transformed into something new. No new mining, no raw extraction.

I'm working towards fully eco-friendly packaging too. I work inspired by nature every single day — the least I can do is protect it.
