Alison’s handmade story telling jewellery designs are inspired by her walks in the countryside. She recreates the glanced scenes of birds, wildlife and plants. Alison carefully crafts the birds and creatures with beautiful glass enamel, simple textured silver or anodised aluminium printed with her paintings. Silver branches, glass beads, gemstones, and filigree caps that become blossoms, leaves and berries complete the picture.

After leaving Brighton University with a BA Hons in Craft and 3-Dimensional design, Alison co-founded The Blue Monkey Studio in Eastbourne. She has continued to build her skills and collections, creating a wide selection from unique pieces to more affordable multiples. Commissions are welcome. Country, county and USA State specific designs available. Alison is particularly proud of being commissioned by The Met Store in New York to design and make three collections for the Audobon Bird painting exhibition. She recently won silver award for best product at Scotland’s Trade fair in Glasgow 2020 and featured in Country Living magazine.

I am in love with the purity and whiteness of porcelain clay and the amazing effects that it brings to life in lighting. I employ simple, clean design and endeavour for my pieces to have a classic and effortless feel and as such to be enjoyed over a lifetime.
I make functional lighting as well as bespoke illuminated installations and artworks, inspired by architectural forms as well as by water and light creating ever changing seascapes. I enjoy the flowing forms and movement to create dynamism and flow.

Angie’s colourful jewellery is hand-crafted in her Surrey studio using Jesmonite, sterling silver and nylon braided cord. Her modern aesthetic and playful colour palettes are inspired by everyday encounters; mid century modern interiors, colour and pattern; and 20th century artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Matisse and Patrick Heron. Originally trained as a fine jewellery designer, […]

Based in Buckinghamshire, I have been designing and making jewellery for over 9 years. I make all my jewellery by hand, working mainly in silver, gold, and semi-precious stones, and love creating beautiful, contemporary, wearable pieces.

My designs have an organic, tactile feel, and share a sense of delicacy and movement. I gain inspiration from many different sources including light, texture, and natural and fluid forms.

I trained by hand in commercial art and fashion studios. A paste-up artist for IPC comics, oil paint make-up artist for display mannequins, couture belts and covered buttons using hand sewing and textile glue, and draftswoman for NCR. I started making dress patterns as a teenager. My hand sewn dress design and visual art practice started part time from my parents house in London in 1981, full time from 1987. All sewing is by hand. I specialise in silk, natural fibres, and original hand embroidery/beadwork, creating dresses for weddings, evening wear and luxury day wear and accessories: hand painted silk scarves, pochette silk bags, veils, silk headbands/scrunchies/bows. Dresses range from £250 to £5,000. Scarves from £45. Inspired by nature.

I design and make to order, remotely by e-mail and post and/or by appointment at my base in Kent (depending on COVID19 rules). There are some ready to wear one-off ladies clothes and samples for sale on my website where you will also find Christmas cards, note cards and original artwork and prints. Always open for online orders from my website for nationwide delivery or click and collect during the pandemic.

I studied Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics at Brighton. Initially I worked in mild steel which I forged and welded, but became disenchanted with this technique and the work I was producing. I took a City & Guilds course in Silversmithing, and joined Brass Monkeys studios in Hove in 2002, where I established my current business.

I am inspired by natural forms and the rhythms of the natural world, abstracted into simple, timeless forms. All my work employs the technique of anticlastic raising, performed with hammers and mallets over plastic, wood or metal formers.  It gives light, strong, sinuous forms which are deceptively easy to wear. Many individual pieces are hammer-forged before forming to introduce texture. All my jewellery is made from silver.  I feel compelled, wherever possible, to make each design from a single piece of metal. My work displays both inner and outer surfaces.

I am a basket maker, working mainly with willow and coppiced wood.

I have a range of domestic baskets and can also work to commission. I grow my own willow, which is pesticide free.

My passion is in all things woven, knotted and netted. I make baskets and love to transfer the traditional skills of basket making into larger woven forms.

Annika draws strongly on her Scandinavian roots for inspiration. A modern Stockholm based apprenticeship, followed by a BA Hons in 3D design and silversmithing at Sheffield, has moulded Annika’s distinctive style. After working in the London jewellery trade Annika started her own business in 1997 and has won many awards including Highly Commended in the Goldsmiths Design awards, Highly Commended from The World Gold Council, 1st place Male Jewellery and 3rd place Parure Categories of the UK Perles De Tahiti Competition, and design awards from The Worshipful Company of Cutlers and The Worshipful Company of Pewterers.

Annika’s work is defined by angled contrasts and its solid weight, with an emphasis on high quality workmanship. Made in sterling silver, 18 carat gold and platinum and all diamonds used are conflict free and G VVS1 quality.

I am a ceramic artist living and working in Hampshire.

My work is influenced by an interest in the natural world; a love of farm life and the surrounding countryside. I strive to capture something quirky and unique in each piece I create and I hope my work captures my personality. It’s important to me that each piece tells its own narrative. Working in stoneware I use natural oxides, underglaze stains and polymers on the clay surface, occasionally embellished with galvanised steel wire for a contemporary feel. My ceramic work is priced from £60-£500.

My work has been shown at Southampton Art Gallery, St Barbe Museum & Art Gallery, Mottisfont, (National Trust), Sherfield School and at The Grange, Northington (English Heritage).

I currently make jewellery in resin and my practice revolves around childhood memories and using objects to change the narrative. I did a degree in fine art, then became interested in jewellery a few years later working with printed ceramics, printed shrink plastic and polymer clay. I began exploring the joys of resin more recently, and love the seemingly endless possibilities it allows.
I have always been influenced by mid-century design, colour, print and a love of kitsch. Through the casting of familiar childhood toys and ornaments, as well as mid-century jewellery pieces from my mother’s jewellery box, I am able to create new pieces that fulfill my desire for a “pretty” ending to a complicated early life. The use of colour and opacity then allows me the opportunity to play with the intensity of feeling behind each piece.
Being able to produce jewellery that makes people smile and want to wear it is a wonderful feeling.

I design and create bespoke handcrafted French Beaded flowers to treasure through stringing thousands of 2mm glass seed-beads onto fine craft-wire, with a combination of twists and wraps.

French Beading is a 19th century art form that has gone through waves of popularity. Believed to have originated in both Italy and France, the craft was predominantly favoured by women in order to earn a little money of their own and to decorate their homes. In the Victorian era French Beading became associated with the passing of a loved one as many memorials were created using the technique.

I research each bloom I replicate before I begin designing. Flowers have such a powerful impact on us, creating memories, improving our mental health and sending messages, so it is really important that my designs are as accurate as possible and that they capture the splendour of the blooms I replicate.

I started Betty & Bird to create jewellery which is unique, different to the styles on the high-street and an eco-friendly alternative to fast-fashion.
My designs are inspired by organic forms, and I love creating textures in the jewellers wax I use to make each unique piece. I use a technique of carving the wax, adding molten wax to each piece, and often setting precious stones directly in the wax. The finished wax piece is then cast in recycled silver or gold. It always amazes me when the raw castings are returned, to be transformed yet again by finishing and polishing them in my studio.
I work in small batches or make bespoke or one-of-a-kind pieces. It is important to me that my business is as eco-friendly as possible and as well as using recycled metal and renewable electricity in the studio, all the packaging I use is recyclable and from renewable sources.

My work is inspired by stories, poems, over-hearings and memories. I am based in Yoxford in Suffolk. Re-using materials is an integral part of my work. I like to feel that they have ‘lived a little’ with their own story to tell showing signs of ageing and how they have been treated or, perhaps, mistreated. So my […]

I make a range of Contemporary Silver Jewellery, including bangles, necklaces and earrings. From my Danish roots I am influenced by Scandinavian Design; my pieces are simple, contemporary in design, timeless and accessible to wear.

I like to produce contrasts in my work, whether by texturing, oxidising or milling the Silver. I particularly enjoy shaping the metal by forging and planishing and many of my pieces involve these techniques. I also include interesting semi-precious stones in my designs and highlights of gold. My full collection and examples of commissions can be seen on my website.

I learnt the art of Silver Jewellery making through various evening classes and City & Guild Courses. I am a member of Cambridge Open Studios and participate in July each year. Commissions welcome and my Studio can be visited throughout the year by appointment.

I am a textile designer, specialising in woven fabrics. I graduated at Middlesex and Portsmouth and am currently based at Wimbledon Art Studios.

I have an affinity for colour and texture and love experimenting with a variety of different forms of media and taking inspiration from the natural world to the artists and designers of the Art Nouveau period. I take great pleasure in drawing together my inspirations and combining them with different loom threading techniques to build unique designs and wearable art pieces.

I have been working as a stained glass artist since 1994. Using these techniques I make individual pieces of jewellery and mosaic. Using the copperfoil method (glass, copperfoil and lead free solder), my jewellery combines glass, paper collage and mixed media. I also make glass and paper tiles that I use in mosaics. All of my work can be personalized, incorporating text, names or dates into the collage.

“Every piece of jewellery I make has a little piece of me in it, it evolves from my love of nature and the desire to create something of lasting beauty.”Caroline Reynolds studied jewellery design at Central School of Art having been encouraged to do so, by a close friend serving an apprenticeship at a local […]

Originally trained as a fashion designer, Catherine Peddle then used her skills to train as a Design Technology teacher. From here she developed her fabric printing techniques and embellishment and established her business dyeing, printing and making her own lino prints on linen to make art that is primarily inspired by flowers.

Catherine has work in different galleries and exhibits with the Artist Network Bedford exhibitions.

Artisan, contemporary handmade jewellery inspired by a love of the natural world, with pieces often nodding towards the clean lines and simplicity ingrained from a long career in graphic design, complemented by other artistic disciplines such as fine art and stained glass work. A long appreciation and fascination with jewellery brought me to silversmithing: having always been motivated to create beautiful things, I now channel that energy, vision and attention to detail into my jewellery work, creating pieces in precious metals and often incorporating precious and semi-precious gemstones. I delight in creating practical, wearable works of art that customers can treasure, and dare to hope that these pieces may become cherished future keepsakes.
