Porcelain and Silver Jewellery

I design and make individual hand painted porcelain jewellery based on many different themes. The main thrust of my work is the natural world - particularly the rich landscapes of the Shropshire hills and the North Wales coastline. I also like to explore the work of artists past and present who frequently influence the development of style and ideas.

The great British watercolour tradition of artists such as Turner, Constable and Hunt have been a particular focus. I also draw inspiration from the more contemporary work of David Hockney, L.S. Lowry and Andre Derain.

I began my journey in ceramics as a student in Manchester, followed by a period studying at the Delhi Blue Art Pottery under the tuition of Gurcharan Singh and his son Mini. This gave me a knowledge of glaze and colouring techniques that I have used throughout my work to this day.

All Jewellery pieces are made from Porcelain clay, fired to a high temperature to add strength. The pieces are coloured, glazed and refired, often multiple times, until the desired effect is achieved

Unless otherwise stated, the pendants and earrings have sterling silver chains and findings. Standard chains are 18'" snake, however other chains are available in different styles and lengths to suit individual customers. Jewellery items include a gift box.
