Meet the maker

I love scouring our stunning North East beaches for treasure. At a loss as to what to do with my growing mountain of gems, I began jewellery making. I've never stopped. It's such fun to pair the beautiful glass and pottery with recycled silver, copper, and even gold.  Sometimes a piece can sit on my bench for ages before inspiration strikes. I like to reflect the organic nature of the materials in flowing shapes and textures. I'm lucky enough to have a small (and I mean small!) workshop. It's my happy place where I can stoke my fire, brew coffee, listen to the radio, oh, and of course get busy making. People ask "why don't you just buy in sea glass?"  But where's the fun in that? I get such a thrill when I spot that glint of green or blue among the shingle. Turning over a piece of white pottery and seeing a wave washed pattern sees me doing a happy dance. And if you're into buying local and recycling, then look no further. I've recently been inspired to try sand casting, cuttlefish casting and wax carving. Such fantastic ways to create truly one-off pieces, in which you'll undoubtedly see the inspiration from our rugged coastline. Why n0t let me make something special for that perfect gift for someone, or yourself!

I hope you enjoy wearing your jewellery as much as I enjoyed making it.
